Project Overview Would you like to take part in a Pilot Volumetric Capture Study to help in the research and development of digital human representation? We are recruiting 10 people to participate in a dataset creation project using our volumetric capture system. This initiative will contribute to ongoing research and...
CAMERA researchers are raising the bar on new performance testing methods by exploring novel approaches to assess Weightlifters Biomechanics in the wild. Validating a commercially available markerless recording system is a crucial first step towards providing weightlifters with information on their performance. With accurate data they and their coaches can...
New open access software could be used by clinicians, physiotherapists, sports coaches and athletes to analyse body movements without motion capture suits. Researchers at CAMERA, the University of Bath’s Centre for Analysis of Motion, Entertainment and Research Applications, have developed open access software that analyses motion capture data, without using markers....
This month we are taking a closer look at PhD researcher Yi Wan and her work exploring biofeedback gait retraining methods to help the knee osteoarthritis population to manage their knees by reducing knee loading and knee joint pain. “As the way people walk during daily activities can have a...
We are very exited that CAMERA Co-Investigator Steffi Colyer and CAMERA Co-Director Eamonn O’Neill will be heading up a brand new Bath Beacon with the Department for Health’s Keith Stokes. A second wave of Bath Beacons has been announced supporting further multidisciplinary collaborative networks which will address the UKRI strategic themes outlined...
People with vivid imaginations are more likely than others to believe they truly inhabit the worlds they visit in virtual reality (VR) according to new research led by the University of Bath. This finding, published at this year’s CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems – the premier international conference of...
For the past 5 years CAMERA has been a delivery partner in the Bristol + Bath Creative R+D programme, a £6.8 million collaboration aiming to improve the performance of the Creative Industries in the Bristol and Bath region. Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), the five-year programme,...
As our work with Bristol + Bath Creative R+D comes to a close we wanted to take a closer look at one of the research projects involved. PhD researcher Anca Salagean has been working on a multi-disciplinary project investigating embodiment and perception of personalised avatars in VR. Anca’s PhD is...
CAMERA are extremely proud to support a wide range of research projects at the University of Bath. This year at CHI that research was most definitely on show! First up was CAMERA Associate Chris Clarke with his talk “FakeForward: Using Deepfake Technology for Feedforward Learning” demonstrating how deepfakes can be...
New research by Dr Pooya Soltani from CAMERA has used motion capture technology to assess the accuracy of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technologies in football. The study suggests that VAR is useful for preventing obvious mistakes but is currently not precise enough to give accurate judgements every time. VAR was...
