Full-Body Analytics & Feedback (2024 - Present):*New Direction* With patented technology that enables affordable, precise, and untethered motion capture, XEED provides real-time, full-body analysis and feedback to the sports and fitness industry. More exciting developments to come later this year!Full-Body Tracking Simplified (2021 - 2023):Full-body tracking is described as the best accessory for Virtual Reality (VR) by social media influencers and sees widespread use in popular games such as VRChat and Beat Saber. XEED developed patented technology that enables high accuracy rivaling Lighthouse Trackers while remaining lightweight and low-cost. The experience is completely plug-and-play, eliminating the need for a user to install drivers, and only requires a single USB cable to charge all the Trackers. The Link collates all the Tracker packets and can output the data via USB, BLE, or WiFi to enable a wide range of applications via the open API. Government Contractor - DARPA (2018 - 2021):DARPA contracted XEED to use their wearable technology to aid the performers in the Warfighter Analytics Using Smartphones for Health (WASH) program. The goal was to use XEED wearable data acquired from various parts of the body as a cost-effective ground-truth measurement to determine whether a cell phone in the pocket can produce similar biometric results. This required building state-of-the-art data analysis models using AI and ML techniques. Wearables for Parkinson's (2016 - 2018):Parkinson's Disease affects over 6 million people worldwide yet not enough is known about the disease to administer treatment to each person optimally. Although there have been advances in drugs and physical therapy regimens, there is still no accurate way to measure their effects and benefits. XEED brings wearable tech, robotics, and big data together to accelerate the development of new treatments and improve how people live with Parkinson's.
