Estimating the term…
A real-time motion capture system and garment includes a wearable activity monitor that may be a pair of denim jeans. The wearable activity monitor includes multiple sensors such as accelerometers, gyrometers, magnetometers disposed within the seams of the garment. A microprocessor and wireless transmitter) communicate the motion data to an external device. The microprocessor and wireless transmitter may be included within one of the seams. An elastically stretchable ribbon or a flexible ribbon such as a kapton ribbon or a ribbon formed of textile, electrically couples the sensors and microprocessor and is also disposed inside the seams and the components within the seam are coated with a waterproof coating. The external device can store the data or display and analyze the data real-time, and may communicate the data to a further electronic device.
A garment comprising fabric and including a plurality of inertial measurement units (IMU's) contained within seams of said garment.
A motion capture system comprising:
A method for monitoring and analyzing real time motion, said method comprising:
A motion capture circuit comprising a ribbon of a flexible material, a plurality of electrical connections forming a communication bus, a plurality of inertial measurement units (IMU's) electrically coupled to one another by said electrical connections along said ribbon, a microcontroller electrically connected with said plurality of IMU's, and a wireless transmitter adapted to wirelessly transmit data from said IMU's to at least one external data receiving and processing device, wherein said ribbon is elastically stretchable by at least 10%, said plurality of electrical connections being arranged along said ribbon in a crooked path.
