The mobile mocap studio

How can you capture motion out in the field? Former RITMO colleague Kristian Nymoen demonstrates a mobile motion capture system.

Motion capture technology is not only confined to advanced motion capture laboratories. Several portable solutions exist for doing motion capture. Most of these are based on inertial sensing technologies, namely accelerometers and gyroscopes. Most modern mobile phones contain such sensors. More specialised systems for mobile motion capture exist, such as the Xsens suit shown in this video.
