Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING ORIENTATION AND POSITION OF A MOVEABLE OBJECT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004056425
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An orientation and position tracking system in three-dimensional space and over a period of time utilizing multiple inertial and other sensors for determining motion parameters to measure orientation and position of a moveable object. The sensors, for example vibrational and angular velocity sensors, generate signals characterizing the motion of the moveable object. The information is received by a data acquisition system and processed by a microcontroller. The data is then transmitted via wireless communication to an external data reception system (locally based or a global network). The information can then be displayed and presented to the user through a variety of means including audio, visual, and tactile.
