Problems solved by technology

Conventional mechanical tracking systems suffer from poor precision, especially when more than one degree of freedom exists
[0006] Inertial measurement devices are known to be used to detect the position of markers without the need for a camera, but they are generally used with systems that can only be used as motion capture systems, and are generally visible, relatively heavy, cumbersome and often aimed at An uncomfortable device designed for short-term use

Embodiment Construction

[0049] The present disclosure provides a real-time motion capture system and clothing. The garment is a wearable activity monitor and can be a shirt or a pair of jeans or any various other garments, and it can be made of denim or other suitable materials. The wearable activity monitor includes multiple sensors, such as an inertial measurement unit, IMU. These multiple inertial measurement units include accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers and other sensors. The IMUs are in electrical communication with each other, and with at least one microprocessor, and are also in electrical communication with one or more external data receiving and processing devices. The IMUs are beneficially all located within the sewing thread of the garment. Stated alternatively, in the garment, the IMU is contained in the seam formed between the fabric pieces. The microprocessor may be included in one of the stitches, or included in the garment or at another location on the garment. In various...

Abstract

A real-time motion capture system (80) and garment (2) includes a wearable activity monitor that may be a pair of denim jeans. The wearable activity monitor includes multiple sensors (30) such as accelerometers, gyrometers, magnetometers disposed within the seams (4) of the garment (2). A microprocessor (40) and wireless transmitter (58) communicate the motion data to an external device (64). Themicroprocessor (40) and wireless transmitter (58) may be included within one of the seams (4). An elastically stretchable ribbon (32) or a flexible ribbon (32) such as a kapton ribbon or a ribbon formed of textile, electrically couples the sensors (30) and microprocessor (40) and is also disposed inside the seams (4) and the components within the seam are coated with a waterproof coating (34). Theexternal device (64) can store the data or display and analyze the data real-time, and may communicate the data to a further electronic device (68).

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of motion capture (short-term motion capture), that is, the process of recording the movement of objects or people. The present invention can be used in military, entertainment, sports, medical, and various other applications. Background technique [0002] Motion capture is commonly used in sports research, film production, and video game development to record the actions of human actors with the help of one or more cameras configured to detect definite points attached to the actor’s body Multiple marked locations. These marks can be coated with retroreflective material to reflect the light generated near the camera lens. Alternatively, these markers may be provided with a light source, for example, LEDs. The threshold of the camera can be adjusted, so only the marked light will be sampled, ignoring the skin and fabric of the actor. The recorded movements can thus be used to animate digital character models in a 3D env...
