Animated avatars? So like, people could see me masturbating and eating doritoes as I'm hunched over my dirty keyboard? No thanks.

Cool stuff. I wonder what would happen to all that equipment if the skier fell down the slope :P

With more feedback, that might work! Record the motions of an expert, hook yourself up, and have the sensors vibrate slightly or something to indicate when your own limbs are within that same range of motion. Otherwise, you might as well watch real live footage of a martial artist and imitate that; a simplified computer model would only give you less information.

Hi, it is really interesting to hear all your comments. I never guessed there would be so much interest in my research. If you want more inforation see the New Scientist online mag. Or there are several home made videos I have put up. Thanks, Matthew Brodie

this could really revolutionize the way we learn martial arts , ever thought of that???

Hopefully this technology translates into better, more realistic animation in computer games soon! Or, better yet, a commercial version for wearing at home, to animate avatars in real time! It would make the Wiimote look like an Atari paddle.
