Original Abstract Submitted
Ultra-wideband (UWB) tags can be used as part of a high-resolution motion capture system that may not require a cost or a complexity that is typically associated with visually based motion capture systems. The UWB based motion capture uses a bundle of UWB tags, which in a possible implementation, can be affixed to body parts of a user to sense motion of the body parts. The absolute positions of each UWB tag can then be determined by reconstructing a skeletal topology from a Euclidean distance matrix based on inter-tag ranging measurements using handshake signals of a UWB protocol.
