the shoes interact with the game by vibrating when a pokémon is sensed nearby, bringing players closer together in search of their virtual pets.

vixole is combining footwear and technology to help people step up their ‘pokémon go’ game, with what the shoe company is describing as ‘e-sneakers’.

the new york-based startup company has designed footwear with built-in sensors and LEDs that allow wearers to interact with AR and VR games, including pokémon go. in theory the footwear should vibrate and light up when a pokémon is close by and deliver notifications as to its whereabouts. vixole has scheduled to launch the crowdfunding campaign  on kickstarter this forthcoming september.
