MCT4053 – Motion Capture
Course description
Course content
The course aims to provide knowledge and skills in recording, visualising, and analysing human body motion. This includes learning about human anatomy and biomechanics and getting hands-on experience with setting up, calibrating, tracking, and recording with different types of motion capture systems.
Learning outcome
Having completed the course, you will:
- know about different technologies for capturing different types of human motion.
- be familiar with principles of human movement analysis, including basic anatomy and biomechanics.
- be able to operate different motion capture systems, ranging from sensor-based to infrared camera-based technologies.
- be able to perform both qualitative and quantitative analyses based on motion capture data.
- be able to work with live processing and animation of motion data of various types and animated characters.
