This manual is a step-by-step guide for performing motion capture and data
analysis with the Macquarie Motion Capture installation. While the Vicon System
is a complex tool, motion capture can be a straight-forward process if the
correct steps are followed.
This guide is broken down into the six basic steps of motion capture: System
preparation, Subject preparation, Performing a capture, Cleaning and gap
filling the capture, Outputting the data for analysis, and Analysis tools.
Readers who are new to motion capture should begin with the
introduction page. This will explain the basics of
how the system works, and how to turn everything on. All readers should then
proceed to
The 6 Steps.
This manual is designed to provide a detailed, step-by-step guide to performing
basic motion capture. While this manual is tutorial in nature, and
significantly more detailed than the official Vicon Nexus System Manual, it is
limited in its scope. For additional system information, please refer to the
Vicon
Nexus System Manual. Specifically, please see the
Motion
Capture with Nexus section. Vicon also offers a series of video tutorials,
entitled the
Essentials
of Nexus. Finally, for technical specifications, please see the detailed
Vicon MX Hardware System
Reference. Note - Vicon offers these resources as a free download to all
system operators. Where they exist on your system will vary.
