A sensor-based quantification, replacement, augmentation and analysis system is provided. The system includes an input device and an output display (including visual, vibrational, auditory and electrotactile displays as potential outputs). The input device includes an array of pressure or force (or other) sensors distributed over, and laminated within, an insole of a shoe (or other corporeal or non-corporeal device). The input device also includes a transmission device designed for integration and transmission of a signal containing information pertaining to pressure or force distribution (or other data) over a sole of a foot (or other corporeal or non-corporeal location) of interest to the user. The output display (an electrotactile, visual, vibrational, or auditory output) configured to present feedback data to the user, a third party, and/or logged or displayed in some fashion. |
