Primary Data Research - Capturing / Recording / Exporting

So my department bought 2 Motion Capture kits.  The following kits were about £1300 each but they were dependant kits that allowed for ease of use.  https://neuronmocap.com/content/product/32-neuron-alum-edition <--- Location of the product.

Capture of data with view of PC monitor

Video capturing of the program and use will be uploaded as well that has a webcam / Mocap data recording section of the collection.

The way we collated the data is via a data cable that transfers it to the PC, it has a central hub that holds a SD card that is more than likely a back up holding position as well as a storage for the calculations to be sent over to the PC.

The motion capture style is kind of sensor based magnetic Mocap system.  It uses sensors on the suit as the measurement units (IMU).

This allows movement detection without the aid of optical collection.  It looks like the information is processed from the neurons via the use of  static within the neurons.  (Currently waiting for one to blow up so i can break into the neuron to see the insides.)  It seems that the static changes dependant on the way the person moves and sends the signal.  It is interesting but I am curious to how it knows it's position in the first place.  (Again, I would love to break into one of those sensors)

There was data recorded which has a pretty outstanding results in the output, but with the positives, there are negatives.

The positives present that it's cheap, effective and can process the information without the use of optical data recording.  This being said, it's problems are in the equipment itself.  It's obvious that it's based on static from the warnings to stay away from high electrical areas which include PC's and that the data did go askew many times especially in the legs and the sensors are weird getting connected.  When the main video is uploaded. It doesn't allocate properly so when you do the calibrations.. they don't work.

Another thing on the side is that because I am of more ample size than regular people, the suit could be working weirdly due to the size of my stature.  I am going to use my friend and see if he gets better results.

Here is the FBX data collection from the Mocap recording.  I will look into how it is on Motionbuilder and what I can do to clean it up.
