Abstract :
In this paper, we overview recent work from our research group that explores two very different applications of wearable inertial systems. The first project exploits an array of wearable, ultrawide-range, synchronous IMUs to measure the performance of professional baseball players. We describe some special aspects of our hardware (a dual-range, 6-DOF IMU with magnetometer), and show sample data from our current analysis. We also overview another project where we leveraged wearable sensors, including a micropower integrating accelerometer, for mobile personalized comfort control of building HVAC (heating/air conditioning) systems.
