WristFlicker is an innovative method to measure wrist rotation and tilt through two opposing stretch sensors, mimicking the counteracting movement of muscles. As the sensors are currently located under clothing, we imagine the stretch sensors to be part of the clothing itself in a next iteration, by taking advantage of the properties if resistive fabric [5]. In addition, we believe the integration of an E Ink segmented display with WristFlicker will allow for more direct coupling between the input and the output, similarly to Snaplet [8], an E Ink screen mounted on the wrist. The input sensors could be expanded beyond wrist motion
capture: WristFlicker technology can mimic almost any type of body movement. Such an embodied motion capturing system could track body language for use with gesture recognition systems, or find application in the field of telerobotics. Contrary to current input for such applications,
the technology presented with WristFlicker does not require an external frame of reference and is thus not only more lightweight, but also allows for mobile use.
