    A Calculating Distance from Hand Movements in Surgical Procedures

    Mine unfortunately just outputs raw figures. It has been a long road of learning. I have mastered converting my gyro outputs into rotational degrees and have mastered trigonometry to convert accelerometer values into a tilt angle. I had a stab at this but must have my formula wrong as slow...

    A Calculating Distance from Hand Movements in Surgical Procedures

    Correct just the total path length. Its a way of representing the work of each hand. Hence why I thought it was fine to represent the acceleration as a 3 axis vector since I don't care about the direction the magnitude of the force. And also should make the sums much easier else I would have...

    A Calculating Distance from Hand Movements in Surgical Procedures

    I really just want to gauge an idea of total distance traveled during the course of an exercise max 300s. I'm don't worry about whether the movement was up or down or across just that there was movement

    A Calculating Distance from Hand Movements in Surgical Procedures

    I'm a surgeon, maths and physics study was a long time ago. I have been working on a project using an accelerometer and gyroscope.to.monitor hand movements during practice procedures. I thought to represent my 3 axis acceleration as a vector and then subtract from this 1g, to compensate for...
