METHODS AND SYSTEMS OF A MOTION-CAPTURE BODY SUIT WITH WEARABLE BODY-POSITION SENSORS
First Claim
1. A method of a motion-capture body suit comprising:
- providing a motion-capture body suit, wherein the motion-capture body suit comprises a plurality of position sensors, wherein each position sensor of the plurality of position sensors obtains a position of an associated body area, wherein each position sensor is integrated into a textile tunnel located on the associated body are of each position sensor;
obtaining a set of sensor-level position data from the plurality of position sensors as a series of position measurements observed over a specified period of time;
obtaining a body-level position data as another series of body-position measurements observed over the specified period of time;
combining the set of sensor-level position data and the body-level position data using a Kalman filter to produce a body-motion output stream;
rendering an image data of a virtual representation of a user wearing the motion-capture suit from the body-motion output stream.

Abstract
In one aspect, a method of a motion-capture body suit include the step of providing a motion-capture body suit, wherein the motion-capture body suit comprises a plurality of position sensors, wherein each position sensor of the plurality of position sensors obtains a position of an associated body area, wherein each position sensor is integrated into a textile tunnel located on the associated body are of each position sensor. The method includes the step of obtaining a set of sensor-level position data from the plurality of position sensors as a series of position measurements observed over a specified period of time. The method includes the step of obtaining a body-level position data as another series of body-position measurements observed over the specified period of time. The method includes the step of combining the set of sensor-level position data and the body-level position data using a Kalman filter to produce a body-motion output stream. The method includes the step of rendering an image data of a virtual representation of a user wearing the motion-capture suit.
