Vicon

“On the reason why the team chose Vicon, Dr Richter says: “We were looking for an accurate and easy-to-use system that provides established models, low post-processing and the ability to be customized.””

“The Veros were able to capture the positions of markers very accurately, and we had the positions of the markers transformed into a local anatomical coordinate system,”

“The conversation with Vicon about what sort of camera would fit our needs made the Vero very appealing, because it suits a lab environment with a small capture volume while offering high accuracy. The price point was also really good for us. So it was an easy decision for us to make.”

““JAEA provides a detection and measurement service to all the companies working in the clean-up zone,” the Agency stated. “For that reason, we need to be able to switch quickly between robots with different capabilities – for example air, ground and stair climbing. The Vicon motion capture system gives us the capability to accurately and quickly change the setup.””

““We had basically no issues with the camera system at CES,””

““I think one of the biggest benefits that Vicon presented to us was confidence. We had confidence that the feedback the vehicles were getting was accurate and precise.””

“Sports are great, but rest is really important for athletes’ bodies, and that kind of intervention is really the focus of what we’re doing at the lab. Now we have the data to convince athletes, parents, physicians and coaches, and it’s really helping to keep kids healthy and active.”

“I’ve never had an install go that smoothly. It was a far cry from my previous experience with another motion capture company. Vicon are always there helping us refine our workflow. They’re instantaneously responsive to everything that we want and need from them. We collected our first patient – a VIP from Stanford – on the third day we had the Vicon system. It was flawless and everyone was extremely impressed.”

“Getting the Vicon system and our lab set up went fantastic,” Orendurff says. “I have to say, my standards are pretty high, and it’s still really fantastic. Vicon came out and did the install after they rushed the order due to previous unforeseen complications.”

“Having worked with so many of them, it’s the ease of use, accuracy, and the process throughput that drove me toward the Vicon system once again. I know the software well, and it’s constantly improving and changing for the better.”

“What we have learnt is that small changes in technique can have a major impact on performance.”

“The science does move on and we’re now using it to show cricket coaches that they can tap into its benefits easily – without any specialist knowledge of the technology involved – to improve pace or prevent injury.”

“The Vicon system allows us to collect data we quite simply couldn’t do before.”

“The Vicon motion capture system allows us to understand the characteristics of bowling technique, but the repeatable process means that we can also apply it to other sports.”

“The NCSEM was built with cricket in mind and is a fantastic facility that enables research on performance and injury to inform the way the sport is coached and managed.”

“The system’s modeling can help predict factors that drive pace or injury, which are then validated by the extensive research.”

“The data that the system provides has not only helped us to reshape our knowledge of injury but also refine and enhance coaching techniques.”

“The Vicon system tracks bowlers very well and is also portable – we’ve taken it out in the field to capture a more natural technique and improve the quality of data we’re capturing.”

“Using the Vicon system over the last 13 years has helped us change our explicit training techniques; we have analysed which training drills will be most effective in real-life performance and then put them into practice.”

“The Vicon system is part of our pathway for bowlers, helping us identify talent, improve performance and prevent injury. The Vicon system helps us to understand the how and why of our bowlers’ technique. It provides the highest quality of data and the gold standard in analysis, enabling us to help our bowlers become faster, more skillful and less susceptible to injury.”

““We’ll put a Vicon skin on them and let them see what they’re doing,” says Bill. “That usually breaks the ice pretty quick, because you see a player out there moving and grooving and he’s like, ‘That’s me!’ That’s a never-fail instant connection.””

““I think that speaks to the power of Shōgun in its resolving capabilities.””

““It’s going to happen because we’ve got a bunch of stands in a not-very-large volume and somebody is going to kick a stand at some point. But an individual camera could say, ‘I got bumped’ and in about two minutes we are able to recover that camera and carry on.””

““One of the things about the Veros which made the difference is being able to do the quick setup,” says Brian. “We put it up on stands, and because they have the motion-sensing capability to tell us when they’ve been bumped, that gave us the opportunity to have the mobile stage.”

““We believe [the BitDrones project] has the potential to take experiential learning to an entirely new level,” said Vertegaal.”
