Thread-Based Sensors Measure Head Movements in Real Time
Written by AZoSensorsFeb 1 2021
Tufts University engineers have designed and demonstrated new flexible thread-based sensors that are capable of measuring the neck movements, offering information on the direction, degree of displacement and angle of rotation of the head.

This latest finding offers the possibility for thin and unobtrusive patches that are similar to tattoos and could, according to the team from Tufts University, track drivers’ or workers’ fatigue, quantify athletic performance, help with physical therapy, enhance computer-generated imagery in cinematography and improve virtual reality systems and games.

Abstract:
Engineers at Tufts University have created and demonstrated flexible thread-based sensors that can measure movement of the neck, providing data on the direction, angle of rotation and degree of displacement of the head. The discovery raises the potential for thin, inconspicuous tatoo-like patches that could, according to the Tufts team, measure athletic performance, monit
