Wearable Motion Capture

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the all-your-motion-are-belong-to-us dept.

AnonymousHack writes "Swiss and MIT researchers have developed a wearable kit that will capture your every move for mapping onto a virtual character. It's almost as accurate as the camera-based motion capture used in studios to develop games. The team have recorded people's movements in completely new locations — like driving a car — previously out of reach. There is even a video of it in action."

    This sonic transducer, it is I suppose some kind of audio-vibratory-physio-molecular transport device?
