The range also has 'anchors' on the toe and heel so physical accessories can be added to the Volvorii Timeless smart shoes.

除此之外，在鞋尖和鞋跟處還裝有配件“錨”，這樣一來(lái)，我們便可以將鞋部的裝飾品添加到Volvorii Timeless智能高跟鞋上。

Volvorii Timeless智能高跟鞋

The shoes were designed by Lithuania-based iShuu Technologies, which is currently seeking funding for the footwear on Indiegogo.

這種智能高跟鞋是由創(chuàng)業(yè)公司立陶宛iShuu所設(shè)計(jì)研發(fā)的，此刻他們?nèi)栽贗ndiegogo上進(jìn)行眾籌。

At the moment, prototypes are only available in black and white, but other colours are expected to launch if the campaign receives enough funding.

目前，這種原型高跟鞋只能變換出黑白兩色，但如果這個(gè)項(xiàng)目得到了足夠的資金支持，他們就有望開(kāi)發(fā)出其他的顏色。

Each shoe has flexible e-ink displays on the left and right sides.

每只鞋的左右兩側(cè)都嵌入了可彎曲的電子墨水顯示器。

Inside the shoe's sole is a Bluetooth receiver that connects these displays to a smartphone app.

在鞋的底部還有一個(gè)藍(lán)牙接收器，它將鞋上顯示器與智能手機(jī)上的app連接起來(lái)。

目前，這種試樣高跟鞋只能切換黑(如圖所示)白兩種顏色。

Patterns including polka dots, animal stripes and flowers can then be selected and 'sent' to the displays on the shoes.

鞋的樣式有很多，其中包括圓點(diǎn)花紋，動(dòng)物條紋和印花，我們可以從中任意選擇，并將選好的樣式發(fā)送到顯示器上。

'The Volvorii's clean, elegant, sturdy design brings gravitas, respect and formality in an unmistakable way,' said the campaign page.

活動(dòng)頁(yè)面上寫(xiě)到：“顯而易見(jiàn)，Volvorri智能鞋干凈、典雅、堅(jiān)固的設(shè)計(jì)使其看起來(lái)頗為莊重、體面、正式。”

The shoe also has physical customisation options.

這種鞋還配有多種鞋部定制的選擇。

On the top of the toe and back of the heel are anchors, to which the wearer can attach accessories - a flower or bow on the toe, for example, and an ankle strap on the back.

在鞋尖和鞋跟處裝有配件“錨”，這可以讓穿者添加各種飾品—比如：鞋尖上的一朵花或是一朵蝴蝶結(jié)，以及后跟處的踝帶。

They are made of rubber and leather in European sizes 36 to 40.

它們是由橡膠和皮革制作而成的，并按照歐洲人的尺寸制作了36到40號(hào)的高跟鞋。

A range of smaller and larger sizes are still in development.

更小和更大的鞋碼仍在制作中。

Another wireless module in the sole allows the shoe's display to be charged without cables.

另一個(gè)在鞋底的無(wú)線訊息模組可以讓高跟鞋兩側(cè)的顯示器無(wú)需插線便可充電。

However, because e-ink requires so little power, it will only need to be charged 'between two and six months' at the most.

然而，因?yàn)殡娮幽哪芎苌?，它最多只需?-6個(gè)月之間充一次電。
