T-pose

When using the Qualisys Animation Marker Set, the actor must stand in a correct T-pose when applying the calibration. When applying the skeleton calibration to a file, make sure that the actor stands in T-pose in the current frame. For a correct T-pose, make sure that the following requirements are fulfilled:

• Thighs and shanks must be vertical making a small gap between both ankles.

• Feet must be parallel to each other and pointing in the front of the subject.

• Head and neck must be aligned with the spine, i.e., the subject must stand with the head straight, facing forward.

• Arms, forearms and hands must be parallel to the floor. Check that the HandOut and WristOut markers are horizontally aligned.

• Palms of the hands must face the floor.

• Arm and forearm must be aligned. A virtual line should go through the glenohumeral joint (underneath ShoulderTop marker), the elbow joint and the wrist joint.

• When combined with the Qualisys Full Fingers Marker Set for the hands:

  • Fingers must be straight, no bending.

  • Hands parallel to the floor.

• When combined with the Qualisys Claw Marker Set for the hands:

  • Fingers must be straight, no bending.

  • Thumb held tight against the index finger.
