Some people that like to play soccer or basketball love the feeling of dribbling or kicking around a ball when they walk.
It is not always appropriate to carry a ball around with you especially if you are in the middle of a busy school or work day.
It would be fun if someone would produce a glove or shoe that can simulate the feel of dribbling or kicking a ball. A realistic simulation software chip and some low electricity electrodes might be enough to make a realistic enough experience.
Wearing this shoe for example you would press a button to start a 5 minute simulation. Then you would feel a tightening or a soft electric feedback from the top of the shoe as you move it forward as if you just kicked a ball and made it roll. The software in the shoe would calculate the time and location of the next time you should feel that ball. As you walk you will start to anticipate where the virtual ball is and enjoy the real-like experience.
The shoe can also measure a simulated kick of the virtual ball and even take into account direction and accuracy.
With basketball enthusiasts in mind a glove can simulate dribbling and even a ball throw. A throw can even indicate distance and correctness according to angle and strength.
