This paper briefly presents the application of an interactive sensory system to sense, record, restore, and monitor the movement of objects such as the human body. The setup, consisting of a data streamer and a software development kit (SDK), has nine degrees of freedom (DoFs): three orientation (roll, pitch, and yaw angles), three linear accelerations, and three magnetic field components. The SKD is a graphical user interface (GUI) that records, restore, and analyzes the signal received from the data streamer and presents advanced statistical analysis such as predicting the behavior of the measured data in the future. An application claimed is to provide patients with an accurate measurement that simplifies the tracking of performance and effectiveness of physical exercises and treatments. To show the proof of concept, we conducted an experimental study on the human's hand at the iRobohabilitation Laboratory, and quantified the signals measured by the sensory system in real-time.
