The High Tech Gym That Powers Fitness Trackers

Quick Overview

Huawei's high-tech sports science laboratory in China allows for the precise testing and validation of fitness tracking features across multiple sports, including running, cycling, rock climbing, golf, and swimming, utilizing advanced motion capture and biometric sensors integrated into the Huawei Watch GT 6 Pro and Watch Ultimate 2.

Key Points: The Huawei Sports Health Science Lab facilitates rigorous testing for fitness tracking features on devices like the Huawei Watch GT 6 Pro and Watch Ultimate 2 across various sports. The facility includes specialized areas like a 200-meter indoor track, a rock climbing wall set to a calibrated 10-meter height, an indoor golf simulator, and a swimming flume capable of generating currents up to 1.5 m/s. Motion capture analysis uses a ring of 30 high-resolution cameras sampling at 10,000 fps to track reflective dots placed on the body, achieving millimeter-level accuracy for movement analysis. The Huawei Watch Ultimate 2 supports specialized modes like Dive Computer, offering features like depth tracking up to 150 meters and sonar-based communication for sending pre-programmed messages underwater. The Huawei MateBook Fold features a 18-inch kickstand mode, demonstrating advanced multitasking capabilities with gesture-based window management powered by HarmonyOS. The watch's advanced biometric sensors, including the side-mounted X-tag sensor, provide detailed metrics for activities like cycling (virtual power peaking at 289W) and running (excellent ground contact time of 271ms). The company also demonstrated its high-tech automotive features inside an AITO M9 vehicle, including large displays and support for phone projection.
