SPORTS SCIENCE

“I don’t think I would have attempted what we’re trying to attempt with any other mocap company.”

Philip Rowe, Professor of Rehabilitation Science, Biomedical Engineering department, University of Strathclyde

“Without [Vicon]… we would have never seen these results. This is about really small hand movements, maybe even just a tiny tremble. It’s something you would never be able to capture on a regular camera.”

Lisanne Schroer, Phd Researcher, Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development, Birkbeck College

“I think one of the great things about Vicon is its versatility – not only being able to do what it’s meant to do to capture the positions of the markers, but also being able to bring in a lot of different sensing streams, from all sorts of sensors.”

Professor Ken Loh, ARMOR Lab Director, UC San Diego
