Motion Capture Suit Helps Athletes Train

Motion capture technology has been used in the creation of movies and video games, and even used by athletes to identify problems with their technique. However, it typically requires athletes to go to a studio or environment designed for motion capture not training. Moreover athletes can only see the results afterwards. But a new suit might give athletes on the fly feedback during training. Researchers at Birmingham City University have developed a wearable device called the “Vibrating Suit,” which can be worn just about anywhere, and more importantly can provide feedback in real time.
