1. WIRELESS BODY AREA SENSOR NETWORK FOR POSTURE DETECTION Sumi K C S7CS Roll No:

2. I NTRODUCTION Body Area Network Makes use of user postures to implement alternate input system Must be fast and real-time Flexibility

3. W I M O CA Distributed Posture Recognition Application Sensors are represented by Triaxial Integrated MEMS accelerometers Use accelerometers to detect postures and gestures Nodes are mounted on human body and are connected to a base station Base station acts as a gateway that connects network to a PC
