Capturing Motion: Studying Human Movement in the Digital Age

The last decade has witnessed rapid digital development, consumer electronics have proliferated into the Internet of Things, and sensor technology once only available to those with sufficient funding for gold-standard devices is now widely accessible. Motion Capture is an excellent example of a field disrupted by the digital development of the last five years, with technology offering new and important affordances. Capturing Motion provides a resource for individuals who need to understand the technologies now available, and techniques for a variety of applications. The book discusses the basic functionality of the major forms of motion capture technology used in industry, common issues experienced by users, helpful solutions and guidance for different motion capture approaches, and existing design challenges, and it speculates on the future of motion capture. The title provides data, insights and case-studies from a leading laboratory, offering a comprehensive guide to the new frontiers of motion capture technology Covers available motion capture technologies, including evidence-based analysisConsiders the various applications of motion capture technology across disciplinesGives the strengths and weaknesses of different techniques and use casesIncludes exclusive data, insights and case studies from a leading laboratoryOffers practical guidance on motion capture technologies, applications and techniques INDICE: 1.
