We will eventually find some use for this technology (you can get the same or more human sourced vibration energy from indoor PV) but for now it's early in the classic hype cycle.

The only problem with that curve is that it applies to technologies that actually work. Some - most - never see the plateau. It’s very tough to predict winners and losers.

and a lot are complete scams. At least we know that utilizing vibration energy works with practical devices because Seiko did it years ago with a watch. The problem then is the same as now, low power density.
