Program Purpose:
The effectiveness of customized insole is often subjected to qualitative measurements, such as user experiencesx000D
survey. Wiivv, a Vancouver based company specialized in streamlining from measurement to 3D printing ofx000D
customized insole for customers in need of customized insole. However, due to customers' weight population,x000D
it is difficult to have one insole material properties that suit all customers. In order to understand howx000D
customers' weight on insole material properties as functions of time, a measurement system capable ofx000D
measuring pressure, force and displacement is needed in the insole.
