Biomechanics of Movement | Demo: Motion Capture Placement and Reference Frames

Professor Scott Delp, Scott Uhlrich, and Hannah O'Day of Stanford University introduce the steps needed to start an optical motion capture experiment. Scott and Scott overview calibrating the camera system, placing optical markers, and how we use these to create reference frames to track motion.
