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

Sensored: Fusion
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

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

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

I saw an interesting announcement today from Linksys regarding new WiFi sensing capabilities. Their Velop system can already be reliably used to detect intruders in your house. While currently they cannot tell the location of the person, they say they are working on this. They announced this week that the system is getting an upgrade.
