So what actually happens internally 
in his body is he's using his muscles

00:00:27.200 --> 00:00:32.320
So that's on his side and we go anterior 
is towards the front and posterior 

00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:36.844
Hi and welcome to this RITMO course on motion capture

00:00:36.844 --> 00:00:43.277
My name is Alexander Jensenius and I'm a professor of music technology here at 
the University of Oslo

00:00:43.277 --> 00:00:46.442
But what is actually motion capture

00:00:46.442 --> 00:00:54.480
Well that's actually a very good 
question because it's not so easy to answer because some people think about motion capture as 
these suits that you put on with markers etc 

00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:59.360
But you may also think about motion capture as more 
generally just a way of being able to capture  

00:00:59.360 --> 00:01:02.229
some kind of human body motion

00:01:02.229 --> 00:01:07.436
And in general I would say that you can kind of separate between observational based motion capture

00:01:07.436 --> 00:01:15.520
Another one is to use different types of technologies to be able to capture the motion and that's the focus 
of the course that we're going to have here now  

00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:21.440
but then Jonna, why do we actually want 
to work with motion capture in the first place  

00:01:21.440 --> 00:01:25.404
in music research and also outside of music research?

00:01:25.404 --> 00:01:27.800
Yeah well that's a very good question
