Motion Capture for Integrative Systems

Catalog description

Presents the broad principles and techniques for movement study in oneself and others that includes applied, dynamic anatomy. Also presents the functional techniques for motion capture with a special emphasis on the capture of human movement from visual sensors. Students understand the technology behind motion capture; a high-level understanding of movement and anatomical systems; the ability to perform motion capture and customize it to suit the requirements of specific creative applications in animation, sound and live performance as well as applications in movement rehabilitation and education. Looks at the technology behind various modern motion capture systems based on markers, inertial sensors, accelerometers, and depth sensors, so the student appreciates the technical capabilities and limitations of each technique.
