Microsoft kinect, motion capture system, measurement analysis, repeatability, reproducibility.Abstract
Microsoft Kinect has been identified as a potential alternative tool in the field of motion capture due to its simplicity and low cost. To date, the application and potential of Microsoft Kinect has been vigorously explored especially for entertainment and gaming purposes. However, its motion capture capability in terms of repeatability and reproducibility is still not well addressed. Therefore, this study aims to explore and develop a motion capture system using Microsoft Kinect; focusing on developing the interface, motion capture protocol as well as measurement analysis. The work is divided into several stages which include installation (Microsoft Kinect and MATLAB); parameters and experimental setup, interface development; protocols development; motion capture; data tracking and measurement analysis. The results are promising, where the variances are found to be less than 1% for both repeatability and reproducibility analysis. This proves that the current study is significant and the gained knowledge could contributeReferences
