FBG Optical Sensors

-. 3D Body Motion Tracking Using FBG Optical Fiber Sensor

: We are developing FBG sensor-based human interface system to track the 3D movements of whole body including individual digits of the hand in real-time for use in virtual reality and as well for rehabilitation. In addition, we are miniaturizing optical sensor interrogator for the wearable human interface device.

• Development of human joint monitoring sensor for motion capture
• Research on the sensor placement and attachment methods for reliable motion capture
• Modularization of the interrogator to reduce its weight and size
• Algorithm development for translation of sensor signals to human skeletal model movement
• Development of algorithm for the control of the 4D+ human avatar in the virtual world
