Capskin has developed a novel soft sensor design with a dense network of sensors that can be shaped into different forms and combined with textiles. Our wearable sensor can measure pressure and stretch forces. We use deep learning algorithms to reconstruct human shape and motion from Capskin sensor measurements. The first product is the Capskin Sensor Socks. It is thin, soft, stretchable, and reusable; like ordinary socks. It measures pressure around the foot and foot movement in the shoe. Our Capskin Studio wirelessly records sensor readings and displays 3D pressure distribution in real-time. This novel solution is designed for footwear developers and orthopedists, and provides valuable insights in improving the adaptability and fit of shoes.
