Abstract:
1. A footwear characteristic measuring system comprising: a base having a top surface; a stepped member disposed on the top surface of the base, wherein the stepped member includes a plurality of stepped surfaces each of which are substantially parallel to the top surface of the base, and wherein each of the stepped surfaces is a particular height above the base; a platform disposed above the top surface of the base, wherein a first portion of the platform is configured to be disposed on at least one of the top surface of the base and one of the plurality of stepped surfaces, and wherein a second portion of the platform is configured to be coupled to the base, and wherein a particular angle is formed with respect to the first and second portions of the platform and the base corresponding to disposition of the first portion of the platform with respect to the base and stepped surfaces; wherein the stepped member is configured to translate with respect to the base so as to adjust the particular stepped surface between the first portion of the platform and the base thereby effecting the particular angle; and a correlated illumination system coupled to the base, wherein the correlated illumination device is configured to generate a correlated illumination output substantially perpendicular to the top surface of the base.
