Shirt seams used as capacitive sensors for upper-body pose tracking
US researchers at Cornell University have developed a way of tracking a user’s pose using smart clothing that combines “sensing seams” with a Nordic semiconductor nRF52840-based microcontroller and battery pack.
In the SeamPose project, the research team repurposed fabric seams as capacitive sensors in a long-sleeve T-shirt for continuous upper-body pose estimation.
