1. A method of using a smart shoe, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a device comprising a processor, output data generated by a pressure sensor carried by the smart shoe;
determining, by the device, surface data indicative of a hardness of a surface associated with a force applied to a surface of the pressure sensor, wherein the determination is based on the output data and defined surface data indicative of floor surfaces;
determining a type of the surface based on the surface data; and
adjusting, by the device, the output data based on the type of the surface to facilitate generating adjusted output data indicative of an adjusted pressure value generated by the pressure sensor.

Abstract
Technologies are generally described that relate to managing and/or generating sensor data. An example method may include receiving output data generated by a pressure sensor. The method may also include determining surface data, indicative of a surface type associated with a force applied to a surface of the pressure sensor, based on the output data. Furthermore, the method may include adjusting the output data based on the surface data to facilitate generating adjusted output data indicative of an adjusted pressure value generated by the pressure sensor.
