A mouth guard senses impact forces and determines if the forces exceed an impact threshold. If so, the mouth guard notifies the user of the risk for injury by haptic feedback, vibratory feedback, and/or audible feedback. The mouth guard system may also remotely communicate the status of risk and the potential injury. The mouth guard uses a local memory device to store impact thresholds based on personal biometric information obtained from the user and compares the sensed forces relative to those threshold values. The mouth guard and its electrical components on the printed circuit board are custom manufactured for the user such that the mouth guard provides a comfortable and reliable fit, while ensuring exceptional performance.

A platform system receives sensor data describing the state and orientation of a tracked object and models the pose of the tracked object to determine user interactions with the platform system. To ensure that incorrect sensor data due to a saturation event or connection loss does not impact user experience, the platform system identifies regions for correction in sensor data streams based on the sensor data being at or above a saturation limit or not being received. The platform system predicts sensor data for an identified region of correction by applying a fit corresponding to points adjacent to the region for correction and determining predicted sensor data using the applied fit. The predicted sensor data is used to correct the modeled pose for the tracked object.
