"Killer App" of Wearable Computing: Wireless Force Sensing Body Protectors for Martial Arts
Overview Ubiquitous and Wearable Computing both have the goal of pushing the computer into the background, supporting all kinds of human activities. Application areas include areas such as everyday environments (e.g. clothing, home, office), promoting new forms of creative learning via physical/virtual objects, and new tools for interactive design. This paper thrust ubiquitous computing into the extremely hostile environment of the sparring ring of a martial art competition. The system uses piezoelectric force sensors that transmit signals wirelessly to enable the detection of when a significant impact has been delivered to a competitor's body.
