Introducing Vicon Rigid Bodies kits

Vicon Rigid Bodies enable you to track and measure people and objects using fixed, accurate markers. You can be up and running quickly with an easy-to-apply, comfortable-to-wear set of rigid bodies for six-degrees-of-freedom tracking of human body segments or objects.

A predefined model for each recommended unique cluster means no subject calibration, and the kit is compatible with Vicon Tracker.

Assemble the straps

Before attaching the straps, you need to assemble them:

  2. Attach the foam pads to each rigid body plate.
  3. Attach the rigid body plates to each strap.

Attach the straps

When you have assembled the straps, you can place them on the subject.

Note: The hand straps may be used on either hand. See the image in "Assemble the straps" above.

  1. Attach a strap to each body part as required.
  2. Adjust the VELCRO® closure to tighten or loosen each strap.

Recommended arrangement of markers

The table (right) provides the recommended arrangement of markers on the rigid body plates. This arrangement will help maximize the effectiveness of marker tracking.

Note: To identify the rigid body plates, attach a sticker to the middle of each plate. You can name or rename the object in the Vicon Tracker software to match the identification on the rigid body.
