Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the universal presence of motion, motion capture is a central theme of many studies. On the subject of motion capture, our particular interest is the use of inertial sensors. The number of inertial sensor applications is increasing exponentially as these inertial sensors continually shrink in size and cost through the advent of the microelectromechanical systems technology. Inertial sensors have become a key enabling technology in a wide variety of applications.
Although optical motion capture technology via an external infrastructure is regarded as the gold standard by showing a high accuracy, there are several benefits to using inertial motion capture instead of the optical motion capture. Above all, inertial motion capture allows us to overcome inherent in-the-lab limitations of the classical optical motion capture, based on its wearability. This wearability makes ubiquitous measurement possible, which is then linked to the tremendous benefits associated with long-term monitoring of individuals in daily living environments. Furthermore, it is important to remind that inertial motion capture is not only a matter of kinematics but also of kinetics.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to bring together researchers in the field of inertial motion capture and sensing technologies for ubiquitous motion capture and various applications, to share their ideas and approaches and to address innovating solutions, paradigms, and emerging issues in this field in depth. New sensing concepts which are especially suited for inertial motion capture, and new application areas of such concepts, are also welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
