Car: 92 Camaro Rep Power: 8 | Well, if you gave Charlemagne a smallblock chevy, he wouldnt know what to do with it either. Maybe a clever person will find a good use for it. I presume it could be made to do interesting things in video games, more likely using a differnet input medium than feet. Or you could apply it to other extremities also and have 2 independent pairs of axes. If you coul make it convenient enough and intuitive enough, we could move to 3-dimensional graphic user interfaces perhaps, since you'd have independent pairs of axes for movement. Just a thought. It's all about making ideas useful.

I agree with epp though, this could have good uses with physical diagnosis and rehabilitation if it's further developed.

Rep Power: 17 | Ahh! I get it! You can use your feet to operate the clutch, brakes and gas, and the scroll wheel to operate gears... and voila! you can control the speed of your mouse pointer! Brilliant idea! I want 70 of those, and a USB straightjacket!
