The Concert Lift is a user-friendly shoe attachment that can adjust the height of the platform up to 8 inches for concert-goers who struggle to see over crowds. Unlike fixed-height platforms or carrying bulky items to stand on, Concert Lift offers a convenient, on-the-go solution that enhances the live music experience without compromising on comfort or safety.
I built foam prototypes to test various heights for the Concert Lift, and after walking around, settled on 8″. I then build a “works-like” model using air-bags which deflate to a platform of 2″ and inflate to 8″ in about 20 seconds using a hand pump. The air-bags in this model could support up to 300 lbs, although other air-bags can support more. Air-bags provide a compliant base that adjusts with the user’s shifts in weight for added stability.
