Tracking hands and some objects - is OptiTrack the solution?
Posted: Sun Nov 20, 2016 10:00 pm
Dear community,
I am exploring whether OptiTrack would be suitable for my use case.
I want to track juggling. This would mean ideally 6DOF on each hand, and potentially the elbow and shoulder position. In addition, the 3DOF (or even just 2DOF) tracking of 3 juggling balls that are being juggled by someone.
I have already tried using a Wiimote system to track juggling balls, which works well, but I also have access to OptiTrack, and would like better data. Also, a Wiimote can only track 2DOF of up to 4 objects.
I already have balls with a retroreflective coating. Can I use optitrack to simply track the hands and also track the balls, out of the box, or how much effort would be required? Would I have to interpret the raw data for the balls or something?
Thank you in advance.
