Intergration of motion tracking systems for capturing social interaction

The way people coordinate their behaviour when they interact with each other has far-reaching consequences for forming healthy and effective relationships. In our lab, we study interpersonal coordination using experimental methods - in brief we aim to capture naturalistic behaviour during real-time social exchange. To do so, we employ a range of different motion-capture and movement-tracking technologies ranging from tethered magnetic systems (Polhemus Liberty, https://polhemus.com/motion-tracking/all-trackers/liberty) to fully wireless tracking (Vive, https://www.vive.com/au/accessory/vive-tracker/) and specialised hand and finger tracking (Leapmotion2, https://www.ultraleap.com/).

This project requires the development of software that allows the real-time collation and recording of the data being captured by these various systems such that it is synchronised to a common timestamp. Ideally, the software should be user friendly and customisable (e.g., sample rates, start-stop times, selection of source/s, output format) and provide the capacity to integrate both video and audio along with the motion-capture data.
