Understanding by capturing

By using LEDs and a high-speed camera, we aim to develop an easily expandable sensor-network system. This exhibit shows a new portable system that processes most tasks on a small FPGA . Our network system can gather data in situations where the conventional wireless networks do not work so well. For instance, it can be used to measure detailed biosignal information of athletes playing at one location, and this information can be sent over a high-speed network to physical education instructors at another location, who can then remotely coach the athletes. In addition, our system can be used in group psychophysical experiments. By enabling such new means of study, our research will lead to new insights into, for example, how to quantify realistic communications.
