It’s hard to believe this is my second blog on the topic of shoes – when this is a software development blog.
I recently discovered the BBC Archive channel which shows clips from back in the day. This one is from 1987 for “Smart Trainers”.
It’s interesting how they were trying to make products like this 35 years ago. I don’t think it’s very practical for outside use though, I wouldn’t trust it in water. It’s probably just designed for gym use only.
It’s funny how he doesn’t successfully demo it. I did wonder if it was just taking a long time to load and he didn’t have time, or if the program had legitimately frozen. Either way, the product didn’t seem very appealing. Wearable tech such as wristbands seem much more practical than Smart Trainers.
For Star Wars fans, I also liked this interview with Carrie Fisher and Mark Hammill
