3D Motion Capture System
3D Motion Capture System refers to sensing equipment or analytical tools for recording the named motion or body geometry.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
3D motion capture systems are a combination of multiple devices mainly high-quality cameras, sensors, communication devices, and accessories. The systems are used to record the real-time motion of object or individual to obtain the desired level of animation in the field of entertainment such as films and games. The 3D motion capture systems can also be used across the life science sector, mainly in medical and sports for applications such as running analysis, swimming, baseball, rehabilitation, gait analysis, and many more.
Sensor arrangement, calibration, synchronisation, reference coordinates and outputs define the workflow; data and clinical interpretation are separate.
What turns activity into demand
Define the purchased configuration, installation or application interfaces and acceptance requirements. Initial equipment purchases, replacements, consumables and related services need separate commercial boundaries.
The commercial boundary
Use the selected edition’s product level, geography, years and measurement basis. Materials, components, finished systems and services are separate commercial boundaries unless the edition explicitly combines them.
Which supplied scope and interfaces define 3D Motion Capture System?
Sensor arrangement, calibration, synchronisation, reference coordinates and outputs define the workflow; data and clinical interpretation are separate.
