Scalar Field of Shoes

When wearing shoes, it is through the sole that we interact with the ground in the acts of standing, walking or running. The sole then not only provides the body with an array of information, but also with each footstep, generates an invisible pressure field on the ground with, in turn influences the surroundings.
"Scalar Field of Shoes" offers a new view of shoes design by visualizing the invisible force generated by the outer sole in terms of pressure fields. The beholder is made aware of the superb, hitherto invisible scenery generated by the soles about their feet, the patterns of which retain a natural beauty. That the software is based on a custom-made fluid dynamics simulator driven by parallel processing implies the role high-technology can have as a language for design interpretation.
