ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are provided for measuring bottom facing surfaces of a foot which comprise placing the foot against a reference surface, projecting light against the foot, and displaying an image of the foot on a visual display to differentiate relative distances of portions of the foot from the reference surface. In addition, the image differentiates portions of the foot exerting different pressures against the reference surface.
