The results are shown in this great video:

Megalizer is a promotional platform for Adidas' MEGA product line. According to Megalizer's designer, Didier Brun, "The concept is rather straightforward: I needed two force sensors for each shoe (one for the heel and one for the toe), and a wireless transmitter per shoe to capture the pressure applied on each of the sensors."

"I used the Force Sensitive Resistor from Interlink [http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9376]. They have the right square size, are super-thin, and accurate enough to sense the pressure of a dancer’s foot on the ground."
