OpenCap for Ergonomics analysis?

New project for OpenCap, which is a new software package to estimate 3D human movement dynamics from smartphone videos. OpenCap strongly relies on OpenSim.

OpenCap for Ergonomics analysis?

Post by Graeme Rosenberg » Tue Sep 10, 2024 12:15 pm

I am designing a project to better understand ergonomics and postures in the natural operating room environment. Could I use video input from other cameras such as a GoPro? How does OpenCap function for more static motions. If I have a lengthy video, such as 4 hours of operating, could it be used to analyze posture and identify problem areas?

Hello,

Thanks for your interest:

- OpenCap works with iOS devices only
- OpenCap should work well with static motions
- OpenCap recording time is limited to 1min

Please note that the source code is open source. If you would like to use different settings, you can always go in the source code and adapt things for your use case.

Best,
Antoine
