I think the example above of strength training is a very good one. Having a tripod or a secure way of mounting/holding the camera/iPhone will be ideal for capturing good footage.

The athlete looks through the report, clarifies some queries with the coach (if there’s any) then repeats with next training.īut would this work for every sport or different types of training? Camera Setup & Types of Captureįor this (remote coaching) to work well, the camera should be capturing the athlete’s movement/s with full view of the markers (or at least the ones that are critical for the training). The coach can record a commentary over the video or write some notes, then share it with the athlete. The coach imports the video onto the Companion App, reviews and analyses the video, creating some annotations/mark-ups on the video.
So for example, an athlete can record a video of themselves training while wearing the Motion garment, then send the video/s to the coach. I think one really good use case for such a system (Motion garment + Companion App) is for remote coaching. But before I do that, I would like to talk about a practical application of it. I will discuss more about the App and some of its features further down. Dropbox) and import into the Companion App. I can record a video with another camera, upload it to the cloud (e.g.I can use my native iPhone camera App to record then import the video, or.I can start capturing video from within the App,.Secondly, there are multiple ways of obtaining a video.I can just open the App and start using it. Firstly, it doesn’t require a user to sign in.Just from my initial interaction with it, I found a couple of other things I like about the App: There are 3 ways the Motion performance wear can be used during training:
This means the markers will stay in place when the athlete is moving and consistently “reflect” the right joint. Although they are not meant to be compression wear, it is useful for the shirts and tights to be quite tight fitting rather than loose fitting. With less clothing, there are less markers. There are also short sleeve shirts, singlets, short tights and rowing suits. As seen in the photo above is the long sleeve (or base-layer as it is branded as) and long tights with a combined total of 28 markers. Those markers allows a coach (who’s standing next to the athlete) to have a better visual gauge of joint positions and angles. The Motion performance wear is designed with strategically placed lines and markers such that when worn by an athlete, those markers (circular dots & triangles) represent biometric/biomechanical markers. How does it work and what could we get out of it? Let’s get into the details and find out more. There are no sensors to be worn, only visual markers on the clothing itself, which are meant to work somewhat like reflective markers in optical motion capture systems. The motivation and concept sounds quite similar to the Notch wearable sensor which we reviewed recently, only it is even simpler than that.
