Device Detail Displays detailed information of the individual sensors, including sensor ID, sensor signal, magnetic levels, and battery life. 14 AXIS STUDIO USER GUIDE 4.7. Solver Parameter Adjust algorithm behaviour to control motion capture performance. Scenario:

Choose the motion capture scenario you are using. If you are doing motion capture on a flat floor, use Single Level Constrain. If you are capturing go upstairs, downstairs or any motion without a certain floor, use Free Climbing. Hip Fixed means lock your Avatar in the certain position, you can use it as running on a treadmill or hanging wire. Contact Points:

Choose which body segment will make contact with the floor or a solid surface during the performance. For most scenarios we choose foot contact, selected by default. If you want to record a movement with hand contact such as cartwheel, select both the foot and the hand contact. Step Stiffness:

Axis Studio will use a pattern recognition algorithm to determine the contact between the feet and ground. The Step Stiffness value affects the speed of this status change. Larger values will plant the feet firmly on the ground and smaller values will allow the feet to slide easily while contacting the ground. Joint Stiffness:

There are gaps between different body segments, and JointStiffness is to modify the tolerence of the gaps. The smaller the value is, the gaps will be bigger. 15 AXIS STUDIO USER GUIDE Step Constraint:

The step constraint value determines the threshold a foot contact is activated. A higher value increases sensitivity of the foot contact algorithm. A low value reduces the sensitivity of a foot contact. Yaw:

Adjust the yaw direction of the Avatar. You can use it to control the Avatar direction directly in third party software. Pitch:

Adjust the pitch direction of the Avatar. If you find the Avatar is too leaned forward than it should be, you can make the Pitch value a little higher. Or if you find the Avatar is too leaned back, make the Pitch value lower. Start and Stop recording 4.8. Other functions 16 AXIS STUDIO USER GUIDE 5. Window Layout overview - Edit View In edit view, review and perform post processing of your captured data. Axis Studio provides an abundance of optimized algorithms to achieve an ideal contact result. Adjustments of the effect can be done by single frames or interval frames values. 5.1 System auto optimization By click Data Process button after the first time of opening a new recording data, Axis Studio incorporates an automatic post-processing algorithm that will optimize the original motion capture file, such as make-up lost frames during wireless data transfer or correct sensor error data produced by unwanted muscle movement during real-time motion capture. Several files will take longer than others to open due to the amount of post-processing that may be required. 17 AXIS STUDIO USER GUIDE 5.2. Contact Editing Window 1.

Troubleshooting 8.1 Anti-mag Mode If you are using Perception Neuron Studio Inertial System in a location with strong magnetic interference, such as steel container, you can use our Anti-mag mode. Use the following steps:

1. Turn on all sensors and find a place with good magnetic environment (Sensor map will display all green). 2. Perform posture calibration at the position with sensor map status all green. 3. Click the button with the magnetic icon to activate Anti-mag mode in the sensors. The button will become , then sensors LED lights will turn into solid light indicating sensor will not use magnetic data for the reference. 4. Once Anti-mag mode has been activated, motion can be captured in the strong magnetic area. 5. Different movement types and speed can cause the posture of the avatar to drift after 5-10 minutes. Go back to the good magnetic environment, click the button to turn the Anti-Mag mode off, stand still and wait for the posture to be corrected in a few seconds. Then you will be able to do another 5-10 minutes motion capture work with Anti-Mag mode. 8.2 Sensor Light Instruction Slow Blink Fast Blink Sensor in standby mode to save the power Sensor in working mode, calculating the transferring the data Solid light (green, blue, purple) There is magnetic interference environment around the sensor or the sensor is in Anti-Mag mode.
