ABSTRACT
This studio aims to introduce participants to orientation and motion sensing based upon inertial, magnetic and atmospheric pressure MEMS sensors. By using two Open Hardware projects we developed, FreeIMU and LibreMote, through hands on experimentation, participants will discover the capabilities and limits of current MEMS accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers and barometers, the basics and state of the art of sensor fusion algorithms and the challenges of calibration.
In the second part of the studio, participants will experiment the possibilities of such technologies in HCI devices or as part of TUIs by engaging in the development of simple motion sensing capable objects which will be used in simple motion based visual, 3D or musical applications prototypes.

Sensor-based dead-reckoning for indoor positioning
This paper presents a method of indoor position determination using an accelerometer, compass and gyroscope which are typically available in devices such as smart phones. The method makes use of measurements from such a device worn on the body, such as ...
Closing the Gaps in Inertial Motion Tracking
MobiCom '18: Proceedings of the 24th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and NetworkingA rich body of work has focused on motion tracking techniques using inertial sensors, namely accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers. Applications of these techniques are in indoor localization, gesture recognition, inventory tracking, vehicular ...
Using Smartphone Inertial Measurement Unit for Analysis of Human Gait
The study was aimed at searching the characteristic features of a human gait during a conventionally used neurologic walking test with the help of sensors (3D accelerometer and gyroscope) in a smartphone mounted on the person's head. This allowed ...
