Motion capture in the BlackBox

There are currently two major systems for movement capture and recognition in the Blackbox: The Vicon system and the Kinect.

Choosing the right system

Before you begin capturing motion data, you should choose which motion capture system to use. Your choice will depend on several different factors.

What type of sensor is best?

what kinds of sensors best fit the motion phenomena you wish to capture. Motion capture systems use different kinds of sensors. To find out which type of sensor best suits your application, see the section on Sensor Selection. In general:

  • Low-frequency movement is best captured using measurements of position
  • Intermediate-frequency movement is best captured using measurements of velocity
  • High-frequency movement is best captured using measurements of acceleration

How much movement do you need to capture?

Capture volume. Full-body versus gestural versus face tracking.

Do you need to process the movement data in real-time?
