For Dorothy to defeat the wicked witch of the East in "The Wizard of Oz," she needed the Tin Man, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion and her magical ruby slippers.

In order for you to end a bad date, all you need is an app. One technology company has taken the concept of the ruby slippers to escape a bad meeting by "clicking your heels twice" or thrice.

The technology company announced its concept this week of bringing the magic of the ruby slippers with an app for iPhone users. It is aptly called Dorothy. The makers are hoping to offer more than just ending bad dates with Mr. or Mrs. Wrong.   

The magic of "The Wizard of Oz" and the technology of the ruby slippers in modern day. It has been 75 years since the award winning film, and the Washington, D.C.-based digital company iStrategyLabs allows you to trigger certain actions by clicking your heels together three times, Time reported.

How does Dorothy work? A micro-controller, as big as a fun-size candy bar, is clipped onto your shoe. It relies on an internal Bluetooth chip, and accelerometer (a machine that is used to test speed). Together they send signals to an app on your iPhone, Time reported.

The app can be programmed to create a fake phone call. The app makers also hope that it could do more: Call for a taxi, share a map with friends, or even order a pizza, Time reported. The makers are crowd-sourcing to see if they could get more uses out of Dorothy.

The iStrategyLabs' managing director DJ Saul foresees that Dorothy could do much more in the future.  

"One click is 'call my phone,' two clicks is 'send a message,' three clicks is 'order an Uber,' four clicks is 'order a pizza,' five clicks is 'open my garage door,' and so on and so forth," Saul said, Time reported.

But Dorothy has not arrived yet.

The makers are still fine tuning it before bringing it to market. One of the main issues is the size of the clip. Saul and his team said it wants to make the prototype clip a third of the size smaller, Huffington Post reported. The makers are also considering building it into a shoe's insole.

The designers, Saul and his team, are thinking about creating a collar clip to connect the same app as well. One of the makers said that it even wants to make a line of wearable Dorothy technology for both men and women, Huffington Post reported.
