Abstract: Embodiments include a footwear device for controlling an electronic device, the footwear device including a toe portion, a heel portion, and a sole portion defined along a bottom portion of the footwear device between the toe and heel portion. The device further including one or more sensors incorporated with the sole portion and configured to detect a movement of the footwear device. The device further includes a controller configured to store a footwear action database comprising footwear actions respectively assigned to input control actions of the electronic device. receive the output signal of the sensors, identify a corresponding input control action using the footwear action database, and generate a control signal based on the input control action. The device further includes a communication module to transmit a control signal to a game controller such that the movement of the footwear device causes the input control action of the electronic device.
