Abstract :
This demonstration allows the visitors to use assorted technologies to motion capture devices for uses in virtual rehabilitation. We presented the MixCap Middleware, developed to blend different types of motion capture technologies and to accomplish in one data format for biomechanical analysis. The Middleware, together with the associated prototypes were developed for use by health professionals who have low cost tracking movement equipment.
