Motion capture
We have and use a VICON Motion capture machine here in my lab
There are a number of different Motion capture machines on the market. I chose Vicon motion capture for a number of reason.
1. They are the oldest company in the business (time = experience)
2. They are the most predominantly used system in Hollywood
3. They are the most predominantly used system in Video Game companies
4. They are viewed as the Cadillac/Mercedes Benz in the industry.... yup I am sold
Whether you have access to a lab like this or not, it is valuable for you to know how to work with a system like this if you want to be in industry yourself.
