Still remember Marty McFly from Back to the Future movie? The setting was 2015, five years ahead of our time. Anyone that grew up in the 80+AJI-s or 90+AJI-s surely remembers the auto lace-up sneakers in Back to the Future 2.
The brain behind this technology, hooked a micro-controller at the back of the pair of sneakers. That motor makes the laces to tighten once you put a pressure with your foot at the heel of the shoe.
When you are ready to take them off just hit the switch on the back of the shoes and the motors reverse, loosening the shoe. We hope that something like this will come someday.
