Outline of Final Research Achievements

There is not enough available system to measure whole-body motions for a long time under actual daily life. In particular, measurement using existing motion capture system is not suitable for motion with many blind spots, such as finger motion. Therefore, we conducted a wearable motion measurement system using MEMS sensors including a tri-axial acceleration sensor, a tri-axial gyro sensor and a tri-axial geomagnetic sensor. Firstly, we developed a wearable finger motion measurement system and a wearable upper body motion measurement system. And, we developed a wearable whole-body motion measurement system by combining the wearable walking measurement system and our developed system.
