Description

Mr Brodie pioneered a new camera-less motion capture system that tracks movement using a network of miniature lightweight sensors strapped to a skier's body. Called Fusion Motion Capture (FMC), the technology produces data that can help elite skiers go faster, potentially winning them more gold medals. The results challenge traditional ski techniques by showing that the shortest path is not always the fastest. The system could also be used in sports where distances covered or difficult terrain make it impractical to use video cameras, in the development of knowledge of sports injuries, for unmanned vehicle navigation and in the film animation industry.
