Recognition Clothing
Introduction
to Motion Recognition Clothing (Video)
Medibotics' patent-pending "Motion
Recognition Clothing" technology is a novel approach to motion capture
that is based on longitudinal bending of tubes that are integrated into
clothing fabric that spans body joints. Preliminary testing results
suggest a modelable relationship between the change in joint angle and
the change in the pressure within the tube as a joint moves and the tube
is bent.

Function of Knee Angle
The long-term goal is development
of Motion Recognition Clothing that measures full-body posture and motion
on an ambulatory basis. Ideally, this clothing would be durable,
relative inexpensive, and even washable if the electronics are detachable.
Potential applications for this technology include: medicine (e.g., gait
analysis, exercise and energy measurement, injury prevention, telemedicine),
entertainment (e.g., animation, virtual reality, gaming, live performance),
and sports (e.g., training, virtual sports).
