This interesting device from Sensixa passed through the FCC today.  Called the e-AR, this device looks like a Bluetooth headset, but it’s actually designed to record a wide range of fitness data…all from behind your ear.

According to the Senxia website, the e-AR records gait cycle, steady/unsteady locomotion, acceleration, and spinal/joint shock wave transmission.  Now, I don’t know what that means, but it sounds impressive.

The e-AR comes with a base station that connects to a computer via USB.  The earpiece and base station communicate via RF, and your charge the earpiece by placing it on top of the base station.

Don’t expect to find the e-AR at your local sporting goods store, however.  The device is designed for professional athletes – not you amateurs out there.
