## Overview

arXiv:2607.06617v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Wearable motion sensing provides a continuous and scalable window into human behavior and health, making it a natural fit for foundation models, yet its pretraining and scaling principles remain poorly understood. Prior work studies isolated design choices, such as sensor placement or sampling frequency, often under fixed settings and narrow downstream tasks that fail to capture real-world sensing diversity. We introduce Inertia-1, a fully open exp
