Motion capture garment

The second application to be described is a loose-fitting motion capture garment that was developed through several phases. This application was initially developed on the jumpsuit with the woven network firom Section 27.2, with a final version of the application implemented on the pants-and-jacket ensemble. The following sections discuss the final version of the motion capture application on the pants-and-jacket ensemble.

The design of smart garments for motion capture and activity classification... 

The primary role of T2 nodes is to collect sensor data from T1 nodes on their network and perform high-level applications such as motion capture and activity recognition. Each T2 node runs a full operating system and is more computationally powerful, and therefore more costly, than T1 nodes. Because T2 nodes are fewer in number, they do not drastically increase the cost of the garment.
