Optotrak and vizard
 

We are doing a project and I'm hoping you can give me some feedback . In our project, the research participant wears the optotrak on his leg and walks on the treadmill. There is a 3D screen in front of him which is an empty room full of obstacles such as step , boxes ... we are trying to measure how high the person lift is leg for each obstacle
Should I use an avatar and the avatar reads the location from optotrak ( so when person moves , avatar moves too) ? If yes , does avatar has a function for lifting leg and doing steps?
If not how do you do this ?

Do you want the participant to be able to see an avatar representation or do you just want to record the sensor data?

Just recording the data. Ie: if the participant lift his leg high enough to pass the obstacle

Actually see the avatar..

You can use vizconnect to map the tracker data to an avatar. See the avatars and tools tutorial.
