Abstract

Second Skin aims to combine three-dimensional motion tracking with real-time tactile feedback for the purpose of improving users' motor-learning ability. The system tracks a user's body and limb movements as he or she is performing an action, and the user is given automatic, real-time tactile feedback to aid in the correction of movement and position errors. A number of components integral to the motion tracking and tactile feedback systems must be bound to the user's body, and as such, an important goal is to design a lightweight and minimally inhibitive wearable suit that contains all of these elements.
