Project Description

KINFINITY´s Smart Bandage (also referred to as MoCa-Ba, Motion Capture Bandage) tracks motion during sport activity in real time and provides helpful tips.

How the Smart Bandage works

The bandage integrates unique motion capture sensors, originally developed for astronaut applications on the International Space Station. The technology was also used to track the human full body movement in space. Following the highest regulations for space technology, the sensors offer the highest accuracy and reliability, thus allowing for new ways of tracking personal or health-related training. Coupled with a smartphone app, the motion data is easily accessible and understandable to the user and offers intuitive visualization and feedback of carried out motions.

Within the SmartX project, KINFINITY was able to develop the Smart Bandage and test it in several user studies. They also developed a smartphone app for the user.

Meet the team

MoCa-Ba is developed by German SME KINFINITY.

The company was founded in 2018 as a spin-off of the German Aerospace Center, Robotic and Mechatronic Institute. The sensor technology used in their products was originally developed to track the motion of astronauts during their time on the International Space Station. The technology is also applicable in the fields of robot programming and mixed reality applications, as well as the research sector. KINFINITY´s motto is: Interacting with technology should be as easy as talking to a human.
