Demonstration of world’s first wearable 3D body motion tracking system based on consumer grade MEMS sensors at International CES |
Unlike the first generation wearable technologies like counting users steps and estimating calories, Xsens’ technology enables accurate, real-time tracking of body motion. One or more wearable motion trackers, connected to a smartphone, deliver real-time 3D joint angles, position and velocity. Per Slycke, CTO of Xsens; “What makes this so exciting is that you can take the analysis to the next level. Instead of measuring that you are moving, or not, we can track how you move. We can deliver the data to help the user understand the motion or technique, in order to understand how to improve. We are helping our customers to innovate and take full advantage of the power of today’s MEMS motion sensors using our unique sensor fusion software.” Wearable 3D body motion tracking is enabling the next wave of innovation in cloud-connected wearable sports, fitness, healthcare and gaming sensor accessories for smartphones. Real-time 3D body motion data enables the development of apps that can recognize and classify complex motions such as sports techniques by digitizing your exact movements for immediate feedback and live sharing. Juniper Research, a market analyst, calls wearables ‘the next smart thing’ and estimates the market to reach $1.5 billion by 2014. IHS IMS Research estimates the wearables market for infotainment, fitness, wellness and healthcare to reach $6 billion by 2016. The technology demonstrator can be viewed from January 8 to January 11, 2013 at the International CES tradeshow in Las Vegas, USA at LVCC South Hall 2 – MEMS TechZone booth 25321.
