Technical specification

This page consolidates the technical specification from the user guide: the motion-capture, haptic, and PPG systems, the power supply and connectivity, the operating and storage environment, and the textile characteristics.

Reviewer sign-off required

A hardware/firmware owner must verify these figures (especially the EMS electrical parameters) before publish.

Motion capture#

The mocap system is built on 14 inertial measurement units, each combining an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer, fixed at anatomic locations in the garment. They run in either 6-axis or 9-axis mode (see Hardware - Wearing) and stream pose data at up to 100 frames per second.

ParameterValue
Elements14 IMU
Type9-axis and 6-axis modes
LocationBuilt-in, fixed, anatomic
Frame rateUp to 100 frames/sec
Roll & pitch accuracy0.5°
Heading accuracy

See Concept - Mocap.

Haptic system#

Haptic feedback is delivered through 114 built-in electrodes organised into 80 channels, using EMS and TENS. Each channel's frequency, pulse width, and amplitude are adjustable from the application.

ParameterValue
Electrodes114 (52 trousers + 62 jacket)
Channels80 (32 trousers + 48 jacket)
TypeEMS, TENS
LocationBuilt-in, fixed, anatomic
Frequency1–150 Hz per channel (adjustable in the application)
Voltage0–60 V AC
CurrentUp to 150 mA
Pulse width10–140 µs (adjustable in the application)
Amplitude controlYes

See Concept - Haptics.

Photoplethysmography (PPG)#

A single anatomically placed PPG sensor uses red, infrared, green, and blue LEDs to derive heart-rate and related cardiac metrics at 200 frames per second.

ParameterValue
TypePPG (red, infrared, green, blue LEDs)
Sensors1
LocationBuilt-in, fixed, anatomic
Spectral sensitivity range455–955 nm
BPM calculationYes
inter-beat intervalsYes
Heart rate variability (HRV)Yes
Frame rate200 frames/sec

See Concept - PPG.

Power supply#

The suit runs from the included power bank (see Hardware - Getting Started), which ships separately. Operating time depends on how intensely the suit is used and on the power bank's capacity.

ParameterValue
Hours of operation5–8 hours, depending on activity and power-bank capacity
Voltage5 V DC (±0.25 V)
CurrentMax 2 A

Connectivity#

The suit connects over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, conforming to the 802.11 b/g/n standards. See Control Center - Pairing & Connection.

Environmental conditions#

ConditionAir temperatureRelative humidity
Storage5–35 °C20–85 %
Operation5–35 °C20–65 %

Operating outside this envelope is not guaranteed to be safe or accurate — see Hardware - Known Limitations.
