Abstract
An apparatus in one example comprises one or more sensors that produce one or more signals based on one or more joint motions of an individual, and one or more processing components that employ one or more of the one or more signals to make a determination of a positional change of the individual.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- measuring one or more movements of one or more joints of an individual using multiple sensors,
- wherein the multiple sensors are integrated into a suit wearable by the individual;
- translating the one or more movements into a positional change of the individual;
- and
- reconstructing the one or more movements to determine a path traversed by the individual.

A method, comprising:
- measuring one or more movements of one or more joints of an individual using multiple sensors on the individual;
- translating the one or more movements into a positional change of the individual;
- and
- reconstructing the one or more movements to determine a path traversed by the individual,
- wherein results from measuring the one or more movements and/or translating the one or more movements is fed back to at least one of the multiple sensors on the individual.
