Our smart insoles and motion modules also work on the Apple Vision Pro 🥽 Unfortunately, the Vision Pro simulator doesn’t allow Bluetooth access, so the only way we can verify it works is by testing it on the actual device However, we’re pretty sure it works…

Experimenting with iOS Widgets for our smart insoles and motion modules - scan for devices and view battery life at a glance Works on iOS, Apple Watch, and Mac (Widgets are not really designed for real-time interaction, so the device discovery widget is purely experimental)

Since Web Bluetooth isn’t on Safari, we made a Safari Web Extension that uses our Swift SDK to connect to our smart insoles and motion modules, interfacing with our Web SDK Works on Safari for iOS, Mac, and (hopefully) the Apple Vision Pro

Our smart insoles also work natively on Mac 💻 Our Swift SDK works on MacOS, allowing developers to easily make SwiftUI apps that interface with our smart insoles and motion modules via WiFi or Bluetooth Receive motion/pressure data, and even trigger vibrations

Our smart insoles and motion modules now work on Apple Watch! Our Swift SDK also works on WatchOS, enabling developers to make SwiftUI apps for the Apple Watch that can connect to our hardware via Bluetooth and receive motion/pressure data

Made a Swift SDK for our smart insoles and motion modules Also updated the firmware so it advertises its WiFi information over Bluetooth, making it easier to connect over WiFi (no need to manually type in the device’s IP address) Works on iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS

These are smart insoles by Ukaton This could revolutionize sports where having detailed information about exact foot pressure is applied is important. This is here now, not in 10 years, but today ✨🔥 Check out @ConcreteSciFi for more.
