The Thermo wearable
for position tracking
The Thermo wearable uses thermal sensors to track its position relative to the body. This innovative standalone approach to position tracking without cameras has the potential to increase the accuracy of measuring movement in real time. The device is also lightweight, non-intrusive and self-contained, making it ideal for integrating into augmented or virtual reality systems. See the description of the Gesture Recognition Device, which also serves to track position of the hand with respect to the head and torso, but for a more narrow application (monitoring of body-focused repetitive behaviors).
Current state
The Thermo is currently a prototype. We are currently seeking opportunities to commercialize the Thermo for widespread use in position tracking for console game playing, VR, AR, etc.
