The project aims to transfer state-of-the art foot biomechanics engineering technologies to the rapid growing field of fashion footwear for optimal fit and comfort, obtain precise 3D foot anthropometry data and plantar pressure evaluation, and transform magnetorheological fluid into the insole design, thus offering flexible cushioning and stability support in response to applied mechanical stress, enhance the design and overall comfort of high-heeled shoes to the wearers. The project was supported by ITC’s Innovation & Technology Fund, accomplished in late 2015, and the team is now working on product refinement and patent application.
