A month ago, I presented my PhD thesis on "Pedicle Screws Electrochemical Properties". A farcry from my usual research, but a challenge that was worthy to embrace.
Now its time to continue pursuing my passion for land and water biomechanics, so lets go! 😁

@running_biomech @theiamarkerless @QualisysMocap Thanks! We covered the ball in reflective tape so that QTM sees it as a regular (albeit large in IR) marker. Then in Visual3d we created a kinematic segment with the volume of ball. We spent a lot of tape, but it makes capture and processing much easier.

[Pedro Fonseca @Fonsechanics]

A hybrid approach using @theiamarkerless for body movement and @QualisysMocap for the ball, allows easier data collection and more natural movements, thus showing the lack of skills of yours truly 😅

Acrobatic Gymnastics data collection with @theiamarkerless and our @QualisysMocap cameras. As technology advances, some experiments become easier.

@carlamccabe @qualisysab @LABIOMEP I've received a link in an e-mail for the speakers. I'm not sure if the e-mail for other participants already included the link or if it is the same from previous sessions.

Swimmer's performance assesment at @FADEUPorto and @LABIOMEP with @fpnatacao.
Full speed ahead! 🚂

*Pipeline Release* Hybrid Motion Capture

Today we are releasing our pipelines allowing the merge of markers from a #C3D source into a #markerless workspace on #Visual3D.

Check the code and examples:

Today our laboratory @LABIOMEP has submitted for the first time a sample of its files from dual media motion capture of swimming techniques using @qualisysab cameras.
Check all the files at Qualisys Library:

The office for the week has a great view and lighting!

@qualisysab dual media setup installed at @FADEUPorto and @LABIOMEP pool.

@rpsportscience @FADEUPorto @qualisysab @LABIOMEP We"ll be happy to have you back :)

[Pedro Fonseca @Fonsechanics]

Starrting another day at @FADEUPorto pool performing #underwater motion capture with @qualisysab cameras.
This is a gorgeous camera!
