Method for capturing movements of the human body, comprises bend sensors built into flexible costume and a neuron network which supplies the position of the body and limbs at a given instant

摘要

An actor, dancer or athlete wears a flexible costume which has bend sensors attached. The bend sensors produce an output proportional to curvature which is supplied to a neuron network via an analogue /digital convertor and radio transmitting and receiving equipment. The neuron network which has been apprenticed previously by another system produces the positions of the body and limbs at any given instant. An Independent claim is also included for: Use in the animation of virtual persons, detection of movements and control of tools
