A position, orientation shape and motion measuring tool is provided in the form of a flexible substrate with bend and twist sensors distributed along its surface at known intervals. A ribbon-type substrate is preferred. The geometric configuration of the substrate is calculated from inter-referencing the locations and orientations of the sensors based upon the detected bend and twist values. Suitable applications include motion capture for humans for use in animation, profile measurement and location tracking within a large, singularity-free working space.

Instrument de mesure de position, de forme, d'orientation et de déplacement, présenté sous forme d'un support flexible avec des capteurs de courbure et de torsion distribués le long de sa surface à des intervalles connus. Un support du type à ruban est préféré. La configuration géométrique du support est calculée à partir des relations entre les emplacements et les orientations des capteurs qui agissent sur les mesures des courbures et des torsions. Parmi les applications possibles, on retrouve la capture du déplacement d'humains pour une utilisation en animation, les mesures de profil et le repérage d'emplacement à l'intérieur d'un large espace de travail sans point singulier.
