Introduction to the course
Welcome to the RITMO Course on Motion Capture!
In this video, Jonna and Alexander discuss some core questions that are at the centre of attention in this course:
- What is motion capture?
- Why is it interesting to use motion capture?
- What are some challenges with motion capture?
- How do you analyze the data?
Of course, they can only scratch the surface in this short video, but we will soon get into more details about all of these questions.
We shot this video at the Library of the University of Oslo in parallel to a complex motion capture session. Here a string quartet played a concert in a so-called “ecological” environment. Working in real-world settings is generally more challenging than capturing in a laboratory context. We will discuss the differences between doing motion capture in a lab versus a real-world environment later.
But for now, welcome. Let’s get started!
