How to measure skeleton data

For measuring skeleton data, make sure that the Solve Skeletons option is checked under Processing in the Project Options. Skeleton data can be calculated both in real time and in a capture. The skeleton data can be displayed and plotted in real time and from a file via a Data info window, see chapter Skeleton data information for more information.

The real time skeleton data may differ from the skeleton data in a capture as the process used in real time is optimized for faster calculation.

For animation applications it is good practice to start and end each capture with the actor(s) standing in T-pose. This allows for the possibility to recalibrate the skeleton if the quality of the fit is insufficient, for example if a marker has moved.
