# Ultra-Sensitive Feet Trackers The Boogio Foot Tracker Offers 60,000 Layers of Pressure Sensitivity By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-07-25 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boogio References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/boogio-foot-tracker/33107/) & [boogio](https://boogio.com/) Boogio is a device that tracks the movement and force of a user's feet. Boogio actually consists of two devices placed in the user's shoes. These devices detect the force being placed on user's feet, and send the information to a mobile device. The in-shoe component of the device is paper thin, making it comfortable to use. This technology could have interesting fitness applications as it could be used to provide feedback on [running and other athletic activities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airjump). It could even be used for medical purposes, providing feedback on [injury and recovery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gait-rehabilitation-system). Boogio could even prove useful in the gaming world by pairing it with an [Oculus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oculus-move) Rift to detect movement in 3D space that could then be translated into a virtual world. The Boogio sensor is said to include 60,000 layers of pressure sensitivity, allowing them to pick up the tiniest 3D movements in real-time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Foot Sensing Devices:** Opportunity to disrupt the fitness, medical, and gaming industries with precise feedback on foot movements and force. - **Real-time Pressure Sensitivity:** Opportunity to develop advanced sensing technology for tracking subtle movements and applying it to various industries. - **Wearable Health Diagnostics:** Opportunity to create innovative wearable devices for monitoring health and detecting injuries based on foot pressure and movement data. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fitness:** Boogio Foot Tracker could be used to provide accurate feedback on running, walking, and other athletic activities. - **Medical:** Boogio Foot Tracker could provide feedback on injury, recovery, and help stimulate motor movements in patients with certain medical conditions. - **Gaming:** Boogio Foot Tracker could be paired with Oculus Rift to allow for detecting movement in 3D space for use in virtual reality gaming applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Shoe Mileage Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoes-lifespan.md) - [Haptic VR Walking Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ekto-one-boots.md) - [Performance-Tracking Skate Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hockey-skate-sensors.md) - [Performance-Analyzing Skiing Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-ski-tracker.md) - [Wearable Performance Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cityplay.md) - [Scan-to-Print Custom Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivobiome.md) - [Lightweight Full-Body Tracking Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slimevr.md) - [Wearable Fitness Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airjump.md) - [Motion Tracking Eye Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magtrack.md)
