Wearable Wireless Sensing for Sports and Ubiquitous Interactivity

Michael Lapinski, Mark Feldmeier, Joseph A. Paradiso

Abstract

In this paper, we overview recent work from our research group that explores two very different applications of wearable inertial systems. The first project exploits an array of wearable, ultrawide-range, synchronous IMUs to measure the performance of professional baseball players. We describe some special aspects of our hardware (a dual-range, 6-DOF IMU with magnetometer), and show sample data from our current analysis. We also overview another project where we leveraged wearable sensors, including a micropower integrating accelerometer, for mobile personalized comfort control of building HVAC (heating/air conditioning) systems.
