LECHAL – The World’s First Haptic Footwear Technology
Lechal (lay-chull, "Take me along" in Hindi) footwear technology is a disruptive innovation designed to smoothly integrate into the everyday. Lechal is the world’s first haptic footwear that allows you to navigate hands-free and also tracks your fitness metrics.
The innovation is currently available as insoles. The stylish and comfortable smart insoles can slip into footwear like any other, but offers never-before-seen functionality. By pairing the insoles with the Lechal app to Here Maps via Bluetooth, the user can set a destination and receive directions via haptic vibrations on his/her feet making any journey truly hands-free. The Lechal app is available on both android & IOS. If the wearer needs to turn left, the left side will gently vibrate and so on.
Navigating to a variety of destinations has never been easier, and users are no longer required to stare at a screen constantly to ensure they are navigating to the correct destination. Lechal also has an offline mode, so you don’t need to be connected to use the product. The long battery life of up to 15 days on a single charge, makes it an apt choice for tech lovers.
Lechal is for everyone – early adopters of wearables, people who like to travel and explore, fitness freaks, cyclists, runners, people who are tech-savvy and those who are not, backseat drivers, design aficionados, the fashion-conscious, and the use cases are as varied as the users.
For users that desire fitness metrics, users can set goals, create custom fitness plans, track steps taken, calories burned and distance traveled. The App stores all of the data, making it easy to track progress and share with friends.
Lechal insole is currently available for order on www.store.lechal.com, and is being shipped worldwide. The global distribution of the product online and offline is on cards.
