My name is Ian and I'm one one of the co-founders of Enflux. We're making athletic clothing with 10 built-in motion sensors that track the 3D movement of your body during exercise. Our goal is to provide high quality feedback and coaching to athletes and everyday gym-goers through the clothing and a smartphone app. We'd love to hear any of your thoughts and are happy to answer questions!

We'll be launching on Kickstarter soon so if you're interested, please check out our website and sign up for announcments and early-bird specials on launch day.

Awesome! So am I right that this is kind of how those motion tracking things in movies work? Would I actually see live data of movements?

Yes, and yes! The 3D avatar in the app moves in real-time with you.

The best spot to see videos of the current app in action is our Instagram @getenflux.

Mick is one of my fellow co-founders :)

You'll also be able to review your motion capture video post-workout to study your form and improve.
