Heddoko is a smart compression garment developed by the Heddoko company (Japanese for "coach"). The clothes are equiped wit built-in sensors, which monitor and capture the user's positions, velocity, acceleration and movement in 3D. The garment is paired with a mobile application, which is capable of visualizing the recorded 3D movement and provides the user with feedback in real time, effectively serving as a personal "coach". the application also collects the data and uploads them to the cloud in order to be analysed by artificial inteligence. The gathered information is then made available through Heddoko's web application, which can be of use for real-life coaches. Over time, user's profile can be created, enabling the monitoring of progress, comparsions to other users and additional services.
