WHY USE MOTION CAPTURE FOR Research?
Interdisciplinary Applications
MoCap systems are not limited to one field of study. They have applications ranging from biomechanics and sports science to animation and psychology. This versatility means that multiple departments can benefit from a single investment.
Practical Learning Experiences
MoCap systems provide students with hands-on learning experiences. In disciplines such as film and game design, physical therapy, and sports science, students can apply theoretical knowledge in practical settings, enhancing their learning outcomes.
Advanced Data Collection
Motion capture technology enables precise data collection regarding human and non-human movement. This can significantly enhance research in areas like ergonomics, rehabilitation, gait analysis, and more, leading to groundbreaking findings and publications.
Curriculum Innovation
The integration of cutting-edge technology like MoCap systems into the curriculum keeps academic programs modern and relevant, attracting prospective students who are seeking dynamic and technologically advanced educational environments.
Career Preparedness
Exposure to and proficiency in using MoCap systems prepare students for careers in various fast-evolving sectors where such technology is becoming increasingly vital, such as virtual reality, film production, video game development, healthcare, and more.
Global Classroom Potential
Such systems allow for the creation of digital content that can be shared globally, enabling international collaborations and opening up new possibilities for remote internships and global classroom initiatives.

Cerca Magnetics: Revolutionizing Pediatric Brain Imaging using motion Capture
The groundbreaking research conducted by Cerca Magnetics has led to significant advancements in neuroimaging technology, culminating in the development of non-invasive, child-friendly brain scans that boast exceptional accuracy.
Our task was to provide a tracking system that could be used to:
-
monitor the position of the helmet relative to the participant’s head
-
for co-registration of the MEG data to an anatomical MRI
-
to trigger and record events during tasks.
University of Cambridge:
Optical tracking for driverless cars
We provided an optical tracking solution using OptiTrack Prime 17Ws, which were used to track 16 miniature vehicles on a circuit, to support research in multi-car navigation and trajectory planning in autonomous vehicles.
The findings using this system have helped to further develop research in autonomous vehicles and have introduced the possibility of larger scale experiments.
The standard for low latency, ultra precise camera tracking
A New Way to Track Robotics at the Institute for Safe Autonomy: Within newly built specialised laboratories, The ISA is performing research in the field of robotics and autonomous systems. This is focused on how they can ensure the safe use of robotics, artificial intelligence and autonomous systems, currently in use and in development across multiple industries.
As part of this research, Dr James Hilder, Senior Technical Team Manager, got in contact with Target3D....
Tecnalia Research & Innovation UAV Laboratory
This innovative system makes flight tests with drones and UAVs possible, allowing precise positioning of aircraft indoors and in the absence of satellite positioning.
The installation required the Target3D Iberia team to cover an area of 400 square metres and a height of 10 metres, to allow room for various UAVs. This was achieved by installing a truss around the tracking volume, with the cameras remotely controllable
