Post subject:  Calculating angles between data points

Hey all,

I'm part of research team planning on taking Kinects up on a microgravity parabola aircraft for some testing. Our plan is to have three different systems capturing data and to evaluate which was the best method. The data we are looking for are the angles between points on the subject (major joints on body). My question is, does iPiSoft have anything that could do that for me? I was reading somewhere here that iPiSoft has a point cloud export? All I would really need is the raw data points (x,y,z) and I could write a simple Excel macro to calculate the angles between the vectors.

I just want to know before we shell out and buy the software (Would the dev team be interested in sponsoring us? ^_^ ). We already have an application that is written with the Kinect SDK to calculate angles between points on the skeleton model. It's pretty low fidelity that's why we are looking at something else in addition. iPi looks to be one of the few applications that is for the Kinect. If iPiSoft can't give me this data, I'd still like to use it for outreach purposes when we are trying to explain to people what we were doing. It would be a good visual aid.


Thanks in advance.

who is this? Im sure ipi people are very wary of who they associate with. especially the bio mechanical engineer types.

Sorry, this is a little late, but I remembered about this post today.

I'm an undergrad aerospace engineer. Why would they be wary? I wasn't talking about them helping us do the actual research, just providing a license for us to use. Not quite sure what you mean by that...if anything the research will be published and iPiSoft will get credited because of the software.
