Introduction
Starting from version 2.6, iPi Mocap Studio includes iPi Biomech Extension.
iPi Biomech Extension is a convenient tool for in-depth biomechanical analysis on tracking data. It includes visualization of tracking data and its export to various formats. It can be used for:
- Gait analysis and rehabilitation
- Sports motion analysis
- Research in 3D human kinematics
Markerless tracking technology does not require clumsy suits, and work in real-life environments like regular office.

Note. iPi Biomech Extension requires separate license key, which you need to activate in addition to iPi Mocap Studio license key. 30-days free trial provided.
License and Trial
iPi Biomech Extension requires separate license key, which you need to activate in addition to iPi Mocap Studio license key. You can order your license here, or activate 30-days free trial. As soon as you install (or auto-update to) version 2.6 or higher, Biomech tab will appear in iPi Mocap Studio control panel. Follow the steps below to start working with iPi Biomech Extension
- Switch to Biomech tab.
- Press Activate button
- Press Start 30-days Free Trial Period or Enter Biomech License Key and follow further on-screen instructions
-
Note. If you do not have iPi Mocap Studio license key, you can order it here or activate 30-days free trial. If your Studio trial has expired, you will not be able to export biomech data as well as animation. But you can still plot biomech data.
Select Data for Analysis
First you need to select data that you will analyze
- Select bones
- Check corresponding bones to include them in analysis
- On the top of the list you can see "special" bones - Center of mass, Center of mass projection to the ground. The rest of the list are bones from internal iPi rig.
- You can include finger bones into analysis by expanding hand bone (RHand and / or LHand). However, fingers are not tracked due to insufficient resolution of off-the-shelf cameras, so they just keep attached to hand joint (RHand or LHand), remaining in default position related to hand
- You can select all bones by clicking to checkbox in the header. Fingers will be included only if hand bone is expanded.
- Select metrics
- There are two group of metrics - linear and angular
