Dead Reckoning Motion Capture

Date started: October 2019
Leads: Gabriel Dorfsman-Hopkins, David Dumas, and Martin Skrodzki

Abstract

We use a small microcontroller setup to collect accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscopic data with the goal of recreating paths through 3 space.

This is very much a work in progress.  The images below are long exposures of Martin performing an Akido routine, we are trying to reproduce this in 3 space by tracking the path.
