MagTrack – A Wearable Articulograph
MagTrack is a wearable motion capture system capable of tracking designated tracers placed on the face, lips, and tongue. The system tracks the position of the tracers in real-time, reporting both 3-dimensional positional data with millimetric accuracy and 3-dimensional orientation. MagTrack is being actively developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
