Introduction In recent years, I sense the approach to building a department’s reputation is evolving. Increasingly, department leaders responsible for motion capture research labs are adopting a mission-driven strategy, emphasizing a clear purpos ...
Data Reduction & Outlier Checks: Save Time & Money…
Introduction While the design of The MotionMonitor xGen has focused on reducing the cost and time required to run a motion capture research lab, there is one feature that has far and away the biggest impact. It is Data Reduction and the abi ...
Skip the Plates? An Evaluation of Markerless Kinetics without Force Plates.
Introduction I was reading a paper a few weeks ago by some folks at the University of Bath. They were computing the Ground Reaction Forces which were necessary to generate the observed motion of the Body Center of Mass (BCOM) using forward ...
Markerless Motion Capture: An Early Experience
Introduction In our last blog, we described our history with markerless motion tracking dating back to 2009 with early shape fitting methods. We discussed the benefits we saw with AI based tracking methods and, our view of the futu ...
Markerless Tracking in Motion Capture
What is it and Why it is important? In simplest terms, “markerless tracking” is the ability to track the movement of human beings without instrumentation attached to the body. Most traditional tracking technologies involve attaching reflecti ...
The Next Generation of Biomechanics Software
In our inaugural blog I thought it would be worthwhile to share some of the things you have been telling us regarding the state of motion capture. During the 24 years that we have been providing software solutions to the research community you ...
