1. Unzip all zipper channels on the suit

2. Secure each MT into the suit using the Velcro patches on both the trackers and the Lycra.

3. Connect the cables between strings of trackers.

4. Ensure that all MT’s are in the approximate locations as indicated in the tutorial video.

5.9.3 Putting on the remaining Motion Trackers

When the suit has been put on, motion trackers for the head, hands and feet will remain outside of the

Lycra. The head band is fitted with a Velcro patch, and gloves are fitted with a pocket for motion tracker

placement. The motion trackers for the feet are secured to the shoes using foot pads, as described in

section 5.9.4.

5.9.4 Foot pads

Dedicated foot pads have been made to facilitate placement of the motion trackers on the feet, these

pads can be used with many different types of shoes and remain fixed to the feet, minimizing motion of

the tracker on the foot and ensuring reliable motion capture data and foot contact detection.

Figure 19: Foot pads

To use, place the pads with the motion tracker

attached onto the bridge of the foot, tongue of the

shoe. It is best to push this a little further to the

front of the foot, since when the shoes are

fastened, it can slip upwards. Make sure the shoe

fastening e.g. prevent the tracker from shifting

within the shoe.

5.9.5 Putting on the Body Pack and Battery Pack

The Body and Battery Packs are placed into the pockets at the back of the Lycra suit. While it is not

crucial, it is more comfortable if you the Body Pack is on the right and the battery on the left.

5.9.6 Tracker locations

The placement of the motion trackers onto the correct segment is very important, as each tracker has a

given ID, which is used throughout the motion capturing procedure. Additionally, it is important that the

motion trackers are positioned on the segment in a place where maximal range of motion and a minimal

amount of skin motion artefact occurs. When wearing the Lycra suit, it is more likely that the MTx’s are

positioned correctly than with the Straps. Therefore please refer closely to the following information to

ensure the best placement. Table 2 describes the positioning of the motion trackers.
