For those of you yet to condition yourself to immediately check in upon arrival to a restaurant or dive bar, Casey Halverson may have the perfect shoe hack for you. Halverson has hacked into the Nike+iPod sensors to create a pair of kicks that auto-check you into Foursquare. Currently his system is limited to only a few venues, but he aims to link it up to something akin to stumble.to — enabling you to automatically check-in and update your whereabouts on any social network.
Locative technologies easily slip into the creepy zone but hey if I were Disney and had a controlled theme-park, maybe I could create a game where people can check-into “it’s a small world”… just an idea. Been on the gaming kick lately… So is this too creepy for ya’ all? or is there something here?
