Research article in edited proceedings (conference) | Peer reviewedAbstract
The use of external motion sensors with the athletes' wearables will enable new advanced applications for providing feedback on movement. We show how visual 3D-feedback based on Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) is technically and conceptually feasible. Our wearable-app connects to our custom designed IMU-pods for measuring the legs' orientation. The App then shows an animated kinematic model in 3D. Our study with ten runners further contributes by providing first insights into how to apply natural, live-feedback with wearables for supporting run-training. Our prototype for the smartphone and head-up display demonstrates great potential for personal- and everyday use.
