What is ARK?

ARK stands for Augmented Reality Kick. Our mission is to implement non-camera-based limb tracking for use in AR.

The Problem

  • AR users are unable to incorporate limbs into an interactive application unless their device camera can directly face them
  • There are no inertial sensing products for extremity tracking that can be used in AR applications

The System Specifications

  • App connects to Bluetooth and begins game in less than 10 seconds
  • App must determine user’s kick speed and direction
  • System delay < 300ms
  • Maximum dimensions of device: 4 x 3 x 2 inches
  • Maximum weight: 1 lb
  • Minimum battery life: 5 hours
