Abstract
Human Motion Capture (Mocap) systems can be built with different technologies, which depend on requirements such as: accuracy, number of tracked points, real time data view, multi person capture and capture volume. Mocap systems based on inertial sensors, including accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers, are considered the most promising, because they don’t depend on external reference, and thus can be used in unstructured environments. In this paper we show the development of a commercial inertial Mocap system, including wireless sensors and a software interface dedicated to rehabilitation applications. In the section ‘future work’ it is pointed the next steps the company is taking toward the establishment of partnerships with researchers in Brazil, in projects with objectives such as carry out a quicker and precise evaluation protocols reports; use of the sensors in a virtual reality system to represent the limbs movements by a 3D avatar in a novel biofeedback therapy technique.
