Digital Humans and Electromagnetic Motion Capture

Abstract

This paper discusses the cooperative research and development work between Delphi Automotive Systems (formerly known as Delphi Interior & Lighting Systems) and the U.S. Army TACOM/TARDEC. Discussion will focus on past work and the evolution of the approaches currently being used by TARDEC and Delphi for digital human animation, real-time human interaction (man in the loop), and motion data library development, as it relates to TACOM/Delphi's electromagnetic motion capture systems and the Engineering Animation Incorporated (EAI)-Jack ergonomic analysis/animation software.
