8 Setup

The setup workflow stage consists of three parts; input the subject’s body dimensions, data fusion and

sensor to segment calibration. The calibration procedures are only available once the MVN system is

connected and the 3D Character has appeared in the view port.

When a file has been recorded this icon remains active to enable changes to body dimension inputs.

NOTE: It is not possible to save a calibration file, when a recorded file is open.

The following steps are described for single system calibration. If multi-person capture is enabled, each

step should be repeated for each additional system.

8.1 Body Dimensions

Figure 30 shows the interface for inputting the subject dimensions prior to a sensor to segment

calibration. It is necessary to input body height and foot length (shoe length at the time of the

measurement) in order for MVN Studio to calculate other segment lengths (based on an anthropometric

model). A recording cannot be performed if the user does not insert these values; instead the

following error is generated:

Note that a recording can be performed without prior insertion of body dimension and without a calibration, if the

feature “Allow uncalibrated recording” is enabled in the preferences menu.
