| Abstract |
| Although diverse researches on sensing method of human movement have been performed, there are still many limitations to the existing methods. As a part of supplementing the limitations to the existing motion sensing methods, this study aimed to execute an exploratory examination on a POF-based sleeve-shaped motion sensor for less restrictive sensing of human movement. In this study, a set of POF-based motion sensor, which was embedded in a sleeve-shaped platform was devised, and a set of exploratory experiments was performed on the possibility of sensing of human movement as diverse as in daily life, through this device. The scope of this research was limited to an exploration on the possibility and basic elements of POF-based sleeve-shaped motion sensor, while the influence of sleeve patterns, those of wearer`s somatotype, those of sewing method were not studied in this study. When compared to the pre-existing methods, the POF-based motion sensor platformed on sleeve in this study, which was purposively devised to be applied to the motion sensing clothing shows some beneficial characteristics: more sensitive measurement on human motion, low cost, no timely restriction in sensing, no request for gigantic apparatus and space for sensing. |
