Wearable sensing & motion reconstruction

WaviTrack

Human motion reconstruction with IMU and body-area RF sensing

WaviTrack combines inertial sensing and ultra-wideband radio measurements from six body-worn nodes. The project brings together an open hardware platform, motion-reconstruction methods, and a research dataset.
