The symposium "Human Body Motion Analysis with Motion Capture" ("Motion Capture Symposium" for short) is organized by the Dance Archive Project under the Global COE Program. The project and the symposium were originally started in the year 2003 under the former COE Program called 21st Century COE Program. The purposes of the Dance Archive Project include: (1) Digital archiving human body motions of intangible cultural properties especially traditional dance by using a motion capture system, (2) Numerical and quantitative analysis as well as qualitative analysis of dance body motion data, (3) Analysis and evaluation of body motion by utilizing biophysical and biomechanics information, (4) Research on representation of dance body motions and interactions with virtual dancers in virtual environments. The project consists of faculty members, researchers in our university and also visiting researchers from other universities in Japan. They are from both engineering and humanities backgrounds.
This year the symposium celebrates its 9th year. We invited Prof. Nadia Magnenar-Thalmann at Nanyang Technological University, who is one of the most famous researchers on CG and VR, to give us the invited talk on her latest research topic "Videocapturing for Medical Applications". We also invited Mr. Bo Wright at Motion Analysis Studios to give us a special talk on "The Latest Technology and Trends in Motion Capture Systems". Other researchers also introduced their latest researches in general session. A demonstration session of MEXT Digital Museum Project was organized at the same venue. The researchers exchanged their innovative ideas in an open atmosphere.
