Video
Real-time Volumetric Skeletal Muscle Deformation

This video illustrates first trials which implemented Real-time Volumetric Skeletal Muscle Deformation. The idea is making more realistic musculoskeletal simulation from the current approximation of muscle model as wire element to physically and functionally detailed simulation as volumetric element.

Joint Angle Estimation with Inertial Sensors and its Integration with Kinect

[published in EMBC2011] This video illustrates first trials which explored the combined use of inertial sensors and Kinect to estimate joint motion for rehabilitation applications. This integration has indeed a great potential due to the complimentary roles both sensing systems feature. In this particular video, accelerometers and gyrometers are used to estimate joint angle, while the Kinect is used for initializing the inertial system and for enabling 3D visualization of the performed task.
