Marker sets for skeleton tracking

Skeleton tracking in QTM requires the use of a designated marker set. There are three marker sets available. The choice depends mainly on the application.

The Animation marker set can be combined with the Qualisys Full Fingers Marker Set or Qualisys Claw Marker Set for hand tracking, see chapter Qualisys Full Fingers Marker Set andQualisys Claw Marker Set.

Sports and biomechanics
The recommended marker set for sports and biomechanics applications is the Qualisys Sports Marker Set, see chapter Qualisys Sports Marker Set.

The recommended marker set for location based virtual reality (LBVR) and gaming applications is the Traqr VR Marker Set, see chapter Traqr VR Marker Set.

The marker sets can be customized in the following ways.
