Stay Updated with the Latest Motion Capture News & Trends
The MotionMonitor Blog Team
We will be writing about all things motion capture. Topics ranging from the state of 3D mocap hardware to break through biomechanics research…and what ever else might be on our mind at the time. If you are a biomechanist, athletic trainer, physical therapist, neuro-scientist, coach or simply interested in life sciences and how humans move, you may find this blog of interest. Visit the team at www.TheMotionMonitor.com to learn more.
