Introduction

Scope of this manual

Qualisys marker-based technology is precise, robust and delivers high quality 3D-data indoor, outdoor or underwater (http://www.qualisys.com).

This module can be used to analyse data captured with Qualisys video cameras and processed by Theia3D without a need to put the reflective markers on the human body.

This manual describes the installation, marker set and basic operation of the Running project developed by the Centre for Health and Human Performance, Qualisys, West Swedish Sports Confederation and Gothenburg Athletics Association.

For detailed information regarding camera setup, trajectory labeling (AIM) and basic operation of the system, please refer to the Qualisys Track Manager (QTM) manual. The PDF version of the QTM manual can be found in the Qualisys folder in the Windows Start Menu.
