**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.

** 开发和采用可持续的GymTaps Patch进行冲击练习和VAR技术集成 ** 本项目的目标是加速开发和采用可持续的GymTaps Patch，该Patch使用环保材料，拥有持久的设计，并提高资源效率。为了实现这一目标，该项目提出创建一个创新的超薄，采用蓝牙低功耗（BLE）技术的轻量级智能碰撞和位置跟踪器。GymTaps Patch结合了2层力敏电阻器（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以及嵌入在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中的柔性电路内的可充电锂离子电池。和促进从事健身例程与朋友之间的实时互动，GymTaps补丁迎合了现实的锻炼环境。一次电池充电可为GymTaps Patch供电长达5小时。GymTaps Patch提供多种连接选项，包括尼龙搭扣或缝制到由环保材料（例如回收聚酯或有机棉）制成的服装或锻炼装备上。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未来还有望与虚拟现实和增强现实（VAR）技术相结合，进一步提升用户的锻炼体验。凭借其可持续的设计、创新功能以及整合VAR技术的潜力，GymTaps Patch有望改变健身行业，为更可持续的未来做出贡献。
