**Development and Adoption of Sustainable GymTaps Patch for Impact Exercise and VAR Technology Integration**The goal of this project is to accelerate the development and adoption of a sustainable GymTaps Patch, which utilizes eco-friendly materials, boasts a long-lasting design, and promotes resource efficiency.To accomplish this goal, the project proposes the creation of an innovative, ultra-thin, lightweight smart impact and position tracker that employs Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. The GymTaps Patch combines a 2-layer force-sensitive resistor (FSR), an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), edge processing capabilities for low-power operation, BLE for data configuration and extraction, and a rechargeable Li-ion battery within flexible circuitry embedded in silicon-coated reusable patches made from biodegradable thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).Designed for impact exercises, sports training such as boxing and martial arts, and promoting engaging fitness routines with real-time interaction among friends, the GymTaps Patch caters to a realistic workout environment. A single battery charge powers the GymTaps Patch for up to 5 hours.The GymTaps Patch offers various attachment options, including Velcro or sewing onto garments or workout gear made from eco-friendly materials, such as recycled polyester or organic cotton. This approach supports sustainability by minimizing the need for manufacturing new materials. Moreover, the GymTaps Patch has the potential to integrate with virtual and augmented reality (VAR) technology in the future, further enhancing users' workout experiences.With its sustainable design, innovative features, and potential for VAR technology integration, the GymTaps Patch is poised to transform the fitness industry and contribute to a more sustainable future.

**可持续GymTaps贴片的开发和采用，用于冲击运动和VAR技术集成**该项目的目标是加速可持续GymTaps贴片的开发和采用，该贴片采用环保材料，具有持久的设计，并提高资源效率。为了实现这一目标，该项目提出了一种采用低功耗蓝牙（BLE）技术的创新、超薄、轻量化智能碰撞和位置跟踪器。GymTaps Patch结合了一个2层力敏电阻（FSR），一个惯性测量单元（IMU），低功耗操作的边缘处理能力，用于数据配置和提取的BLE，以及一个可充电的锂离子电池，该锂离子电池嵌入柔性电路中，可重复使用的硅涂层贴片由可生物降解的热塑性聚氨酯（TPU）制成。专为冲击性运动、拳击和武术等运动训练而设计，并通过朋友之间的实时互动促进健身活动，GymTaps Patch迎合了现实的锻炼环境。一次电池充电为GymTaps Patch供电长达5小时。GymTaps贴片提供多种连接选项，包括魔术贴或缝纫到由环保材料制成的服装或健身器材上，如回收聚酯或有机棉。这种方法通过最大限度地减少制造新材料的需求来支持可持续性。此外，GymTaps Patch在未来有可能与虚拟和增强现实（VAR）技术相结合，进一步增强用户的锻炼体验。凭借其可持续的设计、创新的功能和VAR技术集成的潜力，GymTaps Patch有望改变健身行业，并为更可持续的未来做出贡献。
