Certificate of Achievement
has completed the following course:
Motion Capture: The Art of Studying Human Activity
This online course focused on human motion capture. The course covered basic human anatomy and biomechanics and the practicalities of setting up, calibrating, and recording with an infrared optical motion capture system. Some other sensing technologies were also presented, including accelerometers, muscle sensors, and video recordings. Examples were given of how such systems are used in music research and some ethical and legal challenges of working with human motion capture.
