Software Tools for Recording and Viewing Body Tracking Data

Abstract

While 3D body tracking data has been used in empirical HCI stud- ies for many years now, the tools to interact with it tend to be either vendor-specific proprietary monoliths or single-use tools built for one specific experiment and then discarded. In this paper, we present our new toolset for cross-vendor body tracking data recording, storing, and visualization/playback. Our goal is to evolve it into an open data format along with software tools capable of pro- ducing and consuming body tracking recordings in said new format, and we hope to find interested collaborators for this endeavour.
