Motion Analysis Lab

The Motion Analysis Laboratory of the School is a specialised research facility designed to allow the research of a wide range of human activities. The lab is circular in shape, with an upper mezzanine level accessible from the second floor of the building.

The main features of the lab include:

• 1 Quad-core Data Acquisition Computer System + Vicon Ultranet MX HD, for Real-Time motion-capture and 64 Channels of Analog Data Collection.
• Vicon Nexus 1.4 software.
• 2 AMTI force platforms in the floor, which can be moved to suit different research requirements.
• Vicon Motion Analysis System, with 10 advanced semi-infra red Vicon F40 cameras plus digital video cameras.
• Blue wall suitable for Chroma-Key.
• Roller Doors on opposite sides and in line with the force platforms, allowing for run-through motion analysis.
