BTHL motion capture laboratory
Our motion capture laboratory enables humanities researchers to examine movement, gesture, posture, and embodied interaction as meaningful cultural and communicative practices.
Recording fine-grained bodily motion can support research into performance, ritual, creative practice, material culture, and everyday social interaction, allowing scholars to analyse how meaning is produced through the body as well as through language and text. Located in Room 228 of the ERI Building, the laboratory includes:
- 14-camera M3 marker-based system with one HD video
- 14 x mocap cameras
- Full-body sensors
- Synchronized video camera
- Range of lens
- Range of specialist power cables and adapters
- Camera-mounting devices (rail system, tripods, super clamps)
- Calibration kit
- 65” interactive 4K LCD display
- High-powered computer and monitor for data processing (DELL Technologies Precision 2660 Tower CTO BASE)
- Expert academic and practical support
I'm very curious about what questions Arts and Law researchers have about movement, and hopeful that cross-disciplinary dialogue will allow perspectives I haven't considered to emerge.
