Want to jazz up your EMG data collection? Try using motion capture to show body movements while collecting EMG data.

EMG and Motion Capture

Try the free software tool called The FreeMoCap Project which will allow you to record body movements while also collecting data using the iWorx systems. All you need is a camera or two attached to your computer and following the easy directions provided by FreeMoCap (Installation – FreeMoCap Documentation) you’ll be on your way to having a whole different experience recording EMG.

According to the FreeMoCap website, the project aims to provide research-grade markerless motion capture software for free. They are building user-friendly frameworks that connect an array of open-source tools from the computer vision and machine learning communities to accurately record full-body 3D movement of humans, animals, robots, and other objects. Their goal is to make the newly emerging technologies around Motion Capture accessible to people who stand to benefit from them all while keeping the project intuitive to anyone even with no technical training and no outside assistance.
