Abstract
A sensing system is embedded into a fabric or material that conforms to a portion of a user's body. The fabric or material has transmitting antennas and receiving antennas placed thereon. Movement of the fabric or material with the transmitting and receiving antennas placed thereon are able to measure the changes in the signals received by the receiving antennas. Measurement of the changes are used to determine movement of and position of parts of the body within and/or distal to the fabric or material by determining localized pressure deformation to reconstruct volumetric changes.
