MOTIONER
MOTIONER is the inertial motion capture system developed for RAM. The computer captures the dancer’s movements via 18 sensors attached to the dancer’s body. In general, motion capture systems are very expensive and very accurate, or very cheap and very inaccurate. To address this problem we designed one which is relatively low in cost and fairly accurate. MOTIONER has been developed with feedback from Yoko Ando and other dancers that resulted in a light weight, low-stress, and low latency system. Because it’s an inertial system, users can attach the sensors inside or outside their clothing. Having made the creation process of MOTIONER open source, we look forward to seeing more creators adapt the system to their needs and give a birth to various other ways to use it. Special straps for the sensors were developed. The straps allow the sensors to be installed properly and flexibly, regardless of the dancer’s body shape. This makes effective measurement possible.
