Interactive Universal Club Application Simulation
21-October-2020 By Jeffrey Cooper
I’m happy to announce that, after some time developing, I’m launching the Interactive Universal Club Application Simulator. I wrote a 5-part series on this concept last spring called The Virtualized Club, which you can find via the link. In a nutshell, there is no reason that a Club’s bespoke application cannot track your workouts at

After several months of development, I’m pleased to announce the launch of RT Interactive and the Connected Gym Simulator, as the first interactive component of this site. It’s the first new feature since the blog itself. The simulation was coded in Javascript, CSS and SVG and is not dependent on the WordPress site infrastructure. The

New Feature- RT Interactive
16-August-2020 By Jeffrey Cooper
It’s been a while since the last article was published. I’ve been hard at work developing a new feature called RT Interactive, and it is intended to be used to allow users to interact with simulations described in the articles herein. It’s taken a lot of work to develop the first one- developing interactive web

23-June-2020 By Jeffrey Cooper
In the previous article, we talked about a number of sensors, but all of them were discussed using sensors a la carte- for a single purpose with a bespoke application. A few months back we lightly discussed sensor fusion in the Connected Gym, in Part 3 of that series. Now we will have a deeper

Sensored: A la Carte
8-June-2020 By Jeffrey Cooper
Sensors are everywhere, and in Part 1 of 2 of this short series, we will examine the a la carte use of wearable sensors. What this means it typically a sensor is provided by a company with a bespoke app to use it. Exceptions to that are heart rate straps (chest or arm), which are

25-May-2020 By Jeffrey Cooper
Years ago I installed my first Smart Home system. It was 2014, and I was preparing to speak at the Samsung Developer Conference about Smart Home of the Future. Samsung had just acquired SmartThings, so I bought a system and installed it. Overall, I definitely had a lot of fun with it. It was fun

Energy Harvesting: Sweat
24-April-2020 By Jeffrey Cooper
It was with some excitement that I read this article this week about harvesting energy from sweat, using it as fuel to power a fuel cell. This skin-thin sensor incorporates electronics and a radio and can operate for up to 60 hours! While this is obviously a temporary patch, due to its fragility, I am

Note: This series has been updated to add a 5th part, which covers working out at work. These articles are written as an idea takes form, so as I write subsequent articles, things occur to me that I go back and address. Partly, this is thinking out loud as an idea evolves. Also note that

Automatic detection and categorization of motion is processor intensive. Using the context of the user provides valuable constraints to reduce the set of possible matches.
