We started to program our concept idea simultaneously in C onto the Micro-controller and in MAX MSP to rapid-prototype. In MAX we used multiple LEDs to create a simple matrix, thus allowing us to simulate various pattern sequences. In a further step these LEDs will be replaced with an array of vibrations units or an electrical impulse matrix.![](../../../../files/2010/12/P1030715.jpg)

LED matrix test
This "embroidery"-like construction lets us simulate the virtual compass in our shoe. The main concept is to be able to play the procedural "wave" in 8 ways (as demostrated in the video below).![](../../../../files/2010/12/P1030718_spiderController_Test.jpg)
