Setup of the Motion Captor system is fast - requiring about an hour (or less). The cameras, tripods and lights are set up at equal distances around the capture area.

Once the cameras are all aimed at the center of the capture area, calibration is accomplished via placement and capture of the calibration rod at twelve different locations within the capture area. This process linearizes the space and allows the cameras to know their location relative to the other cameras.

The markers can be put on over street clothes - a baseball cap attaches the markers to the actor's head. A vest attaches the markers to the actor's torso. Markers are attached to the elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles and feet.

Marker recognition is instantaneous, allowing the capture session to begin immediately.

Entertainment
If MotionBuilder Pro is being used, the capture can be done entirely within MotionBuilder, for live performance or recording for eventual output to 3D Studio MAX, Maya, Lightwave or Softimage.

If MotionBuilder is not used, the resulting captures can be converted to Maya or Softimage fomats, or BVH for 3D Studio MAX. Use of MotionBuilder is recommended for integration with Lightwave.

Rehabilitation
Motion Captor is available with CLIMA (Clinical Motion Analysis) software for gait analysis. CLIMA captures the patient's motion, performs a biomechanical analysis of it, and facilitates quantified analysis of the results, such as:

· Articulation angles and angular velocities
· Positions, speeds and accelerations
· Stride length, center of gravity positioning, etc.
· Comparison with normal values

Ergonomic Research
STT, the creator of Motion Captor, is a dynamic company with a very strong focus in biomechanical engineering. Drivers for common ergonomic analysis programs such as Catia or Matlab will be written free of charge, upon clients request.

Simulation
Currently, use of MotionBuilder Pro is recommended for integration with systems for simulation. Upon clients request, STT will create drivers for VR programs such as World Up® or WorldToolKit®.
