Beat Feat -- Shoes That Are Musical Instruments

(Video Link)

Arturo Vidich, Eric Mika, and Tai Yin Ho equipped pressure sensors to the soles of a set of shoes. They can be played like a musical instrument by dancing in different ways. The project is called "Beat Feat". You can view schematics and construction photos at the link.
