Embedding complex mathematical algorithms in a wearable system requires a suitable software approach in order that the needs of the programmer and processor are met. This paper reports ongoing work in which wearable computing is combined with high level gesture recognition in order to examine body motions in natural environments. Tai Chi movements are recognized using a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) approach...
Pervasive applications often require context information about the posture, ambulatory and work activity of the user. This paper reports ongoing work on the development of a low cost ergonomic approach to motion capture that provides the opportunity to examine diverse body movement in home and office environments. In this research case it is applied to the automatic training of Tai Ji Quan at different...
This research is aimed at finding an alternative approach to the practice of focusing and unblocking internal energy, referred to in Chinese Medicine as Qi. Tai Ji Quan , also known as Tai Chi, and Qi Gong are well established and excellent methods for promoting healthy Qi flow. However, by providing an alternative framework based on wearable computing that strongly adheres to the traditional concepts...
