Smart Suit Pro
A motion capture wireless bodysuit that could help treat kids with autism.
If you have played a modern video game or seen any movies with CGI characters, you have seen the results of motion capture. This is where the motion of an actor is captured and put into the game or movie. This process requires advanced technology, but this motion capture suit puts an entire motion capture studio in one wireless bodysuit.
The suit itself is a fabric jumpsuit made to be flexible and durable, and the real heart of the system is a network of sensors embedded in the fabric. The sensors are 19.9-DOF inertial sensors that measure 9 x 30 x 40mm which all connect to a small hub in the back of the suit.
Potentially, this suit could save a lot of hardware and databytes and bring affordable tech to sectors that could benefit on many ways.
But more importantly, the company recently found that the suit could help treat autism by enabling kids in treatment to interact with animated characters much more than with real people. A project is now being realized at SDU Denmark.
