Motion Capture data and Motion Tracking...

During the summer of 2006 I worked with Nick Howe as a research grant assistant. Nick's Motion Tracking Site

Primarily, I helped with the format conversions from bvh (Biovision Hierarchy) to Matlab matrices.

This site is where I've posted some work related tid-bits and things I found interesting (mostly playing with

the motion capture suit) ~cheers~ Lauren (lkvalhei@smith.edu)

For fun, I attached a couple of the motion capture files (bvh) we gathered to some models in Poser. Unfortunately, some of the data reading systems in the suit were malfunctioning while Jordan was doing the cotton-eye-jo. The second sequence is of an ice skater that was helping us with research material. Enjoy.
