Abstract:

In this paper, we describe a new wearable wireless sensor system for solo or group dance performances. The system consists of a number of 25mm Wireless Inertial Measurement Unit (WIMU) nodes designed at the Tyndall National Institute. Each sensor node has two dual-axis accelerometers, three single axis gyroscopes and two dual axis magnetometers, providing 6 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) movement tracking. All sensors transmit data wirelessly to a basestation at a frequency band and power that does not require licensing. The interface process has been developed at the Interaction Design Center of the University of Limerick (Ireland). The data are acquired and manipulated in well-know real-time software like pd and Max/MSP. This paper presents the new system, describes the interface design and outlines the main achievements of this collaborative research, which has been named ‘Celeritas’.
