Development and Adoption of Sustainable GymTaps Patch for Impact Exercise and VAR Technology Integration

**用于冲击练习和VAR技术集成的可持续GymTaps贴片的开发和采用**本项目的目标是加快可持续GymTaps贴片的开发和采用，该贴片使用环保材料，具有持久的设计，并提高资源效率。为了实现这一目标，该项目提出创建一种创新的、超薄、轻便的智能碰撞和位置跟踪器，采用蓝牙低能量(BLE)技术。GymTaps Patch结合了两层力敏电阻(FSR)、惯性测量单元(IMU)、用于低功耗操作的边缘处理功能、用于数据配置和提取的BLE，以及嵌入由可生物降解热塑性聚氨酯(TPU)制成的硅涂层可重复使用贴片的灵活电路中的可充电锂离子电池。GymTaps Patch旨在进行冲击性练习、拳击和武术等运动训练，并促进与朋友之间的实时互动，以满足现实锻炼环境的需要。一次电池充电可为GymTaps贴片提供长达5小时的供电。GymTaps贴片提供各种附件选项，包括尼龙搭扣或缝制在衣服或由环保材料制成的健身器材上，如回收聚酯或有机棉。这种方法通过最大限度地减少对制造新材料的需求来支持可持续性。此外，GymTaps Patch未来有可能与虚拟和增强现实(VAR)技术集成，进一步提升用户的锻炼体验。凭借其可持续的设计、创新功能和VAR技术集成的潜力，GymTaps Patch有望改变健身行业，为更可持续的未来做出贡献。

**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.
