Capturing a string quartet

In this video, Laura talks about her experience with motion capturing musicians.

In a set of recordings, Laura and colleagues captured a string quartet during real performances. The first set of recordings were done in the lab. This is challenging because there are multiple people with suits, they are sitting quite close, and they have instruments that cover up markers.

The complexity grew when they moved to the University Library to do motion capture in a real-world setting. Here, Laura talks about some of the challenges and how she approached the motion capture sessions.
