The British artist Dominic Wilcox has created a pair of shoes, which can lead you home no matter where you are in the world. He thought about the fairy tale The Wizard of Oz and how Dorothy could click her shoes to go home. So he decided to make a pair of shoes that could take you home with a click of heels. The shoes can point the way with GPS and clever LEDs(发光二极管).Wilcox worked with another artist and a shoemaker to produce what he calls the “No Place Like Home” shoes.

One of the “No Place Like Home” shoes has a GPS unit inside the heel of the left shoe. It communicates wirelessly(无线方式)with the right shoe and provides data to the LED lights. The LEDs on the left toe point the person in the right direction while those on the right toe show how much of the journey still remains.

It may be an art project. There’s only one pair, but it’s not hard to imagine a similar, more everyday pair of shoes for children, old people or those who always lose their ways in the future.

Now, this pair of shoes are on show in London.
