Smart Gym Gear: Cooling Shoe, Ear Sensor and Smart Bra
For those of us who are gym rats, we need to give claps to technology for these. New tools under development will soon make sure there’s no missed step, poor form, or lagging pace you don’t know about in real time.
Ear Sensor
The e-AR from Sensixa is a cufflink-sized device that tucks behind a runner’s ear like a Bluetooth headset to measure shockwaves through the skeleton. It calculates stats like step frequency, acceleration, and stride.
Smart Bra
Even small breasts can bounce up to 3 inches during exercise, causing significant discomfort. Researchers in Australia are using motion capture to design a bra that dynamically adjusts cup and strap stiffness as a woman moves around.
Cooling Shoe
Avacore is developing a cooling shoe based on the company’s CoreControl glove currently used on NFL sidelines. Why? Rapidly cooling hands and feet is a safer and more efficient way to prevent overheating than water buckets or mist fans.
