The obvious application is foot sole pressure measurement. It can be used to design orthotic shoes or to sell over-priced pads (the more likely case, I'm afraid).

Not only orthopedics, but to manufacture prosthesis.m And I am sure it would not stop there.

There's got to be some sort of biometric security application that improves upon fingerprint readers.
