Motion Capture Process: Real-Time Motion Capture

The test subject is then asked to perform the desired athletic activity in the lab while the 8 cameras around the room capture the marker locations at a rate of 240 frames per second. The 3D marker locations are streamed in real-time to the computer along with any other measurements from force plate or electromyographic (muscle activity sensing) equipment. In addition, two digital camcorders are used to videotape front and side footage of the athletic performance for visual observational analysis.
