“Shoogle” by Google (2013)

The Shoogle is a shoe that basically nags the wearer to work out. It is designed to provide directions (GPS Tracking), speed, and sass (if the wearer is idle for too long). The shoe is equipped with a speaker, computer, accelerometer, gyroscope, and pressure sensor. The basic idea is that it translates the pressure sensor and accelerometer data into simple audio instructions for the consumer. However, the instructions are also laced (no pun intended, honestly) with the sarcasm of an impatient personal trainer.
