Application of Force Sensing Resistor and Accelerometer Sensors for the Game Exercise with Sensor Shoes

The objectives of this research were to study and compare the physical properties, technical and manufacturing cost of a force sensing resistor (FSR) and accelerometer sensors for the game exercise with sensor shoes to make a player feels truthful of playing the game by using the motion detector of the foot while standing, walking, and running.
The study's results and comparison of the properties of force sensing resistor (FSR) and accelerometer sensors were as follows: In physical properties, the force sensing resistor was easier and more convenient to install than the accelerometer sensors. This is because it can be installed inside the shoe for testing, but the accelerometer sensors must be installed outside. The technical properties found that the force-sensing resistor had more precise and sensitive detection than the accelerometer sensors. This is because the accelerometer sensors provided the latency to calculate the measurement coordinates of two axes (axes X, Y). As a part of the manufacturing cost, the force sensing resistor used less cost than the accelerometer sensors.
