Why TracSil?

TracSil provides a more convenient solution compared to IMU sensors and camera motion capture. It can be easily worn like clothing, providing immediate data on user movements. TracSil withstands over 10,000 strain cycles, collecting accurate data even during intense physical activity.

Strain Resistance Testing Results

500mm/min

TracSil is designed to endure rigorous usage without noticeable loss of quality, reliably performing through over 10,000 strain cycles.

During durability testing, TracSil was subjected to 0% to 30% strain continuously at a 1-second interval for 10,000 trials, which exceeds the typical strain experienced by the human body, up to 15%.

Furthermore, the following graph demonstrates that even when TracSil is stretched at a rate of 500mm per minute (approximately 8.3mm per second), it continues to maintain reliable impedance.

Based on these comprehensive test results, we anticipate that TracSil sensors can withstand over 100,000 cycles in real-world usage scenarios.

How TracSil Sensor works

The flexible and elastic conductive sensor instantly measures posture whenever the user bends a joint. Made from conductive silicone material, the sensor uses electricity to accurately detect movements and automatically counts exercise repetitions.

How the AI works

After collecting human motion data with TracSil, the collected data will be input into Wave's AI system. This will then be analyzed to provide insights into various movement patterns.

The AI system can recognize specific movements associated with certain activities or sports. This can be useful in sports performance analysis, injury prevention, and rehabilitation. It can also detect anomalies in the motion data, which can indicate potential injuries or imbalances and help in the early prevention of injuries. Real-world movement data like this is what Physical AI lacks most.

Our Background in AI

Activity Prediction AI System using Accelerometer Sensors

As Wave's core AI technology patent, after measuring and collecting real-time data of the user's movements, exercise, and behavior patterns, the collected data is processed through AI algorithms to predict and analyze the user's activity level.

The advantages of this AI System are:

It accurately predicts the user's activity level,

Provides fast responsiveness through real-time data collection and processing,

Provides personalized services by analyzing the user's activity patterns and behavioral characteristics
