710199Proof of Concept for the Application of Inertial Sensors for Consumer Sports Performance Display on Smartphones by Vert Systems LtdClosedGRD Proof of ConceptInnovate UKThe project will prove the concept for a sports performance monitoring product for the consumer market, based on the integration of a wireless inertial sensor unit with a smartphone app. The details of the user’s motion will be extracted from the sensor data and then displayed by a smartphone app to provide an enhanced user experience with graphical display of performance. The concept is based on the integration of a number of technologies to produce a new and novel product range. The development of sports specific algorithms to process the sensor data will make the product unique and increase the available information for the user. The project aims to show how the algorithms developed and low cost hardware have sufficient performance to allow a realistic and accurate display of the results, and for a commercially viable product to be developed. The project is expected to lead to the filing of at least 1 patent, and the new product range will allow the expansion of Vert Systems including the creation of a number of new jobs. The market for the product is international and so there is considerable export potential from the outcome of the project
