Abstract: Walking is a common activity where the feet collect extensive tactile information from the ground. While most research emphasizes foot pressure sensing, the exploration of decoding tactile information from foot acoustic signals remains underexplored. Here, we introduce a wearable system that captures wideband acoustic signals during walking, tested with 31 participants across 18 different ground textures. This system enables real-time detection of ground haptic information, presenting potential applications in digitizing walking experiences.
