TooltY: An Approach for the Combination of Motion Capture and 3D Reconstruction to Present Tool Usage in 3D Environments

Visualization techniques for the usage of tools, handicrafts, and assembly operations are employed demonstrating processes (e.g., instructions). Until today, most commonly used include written information, sketches in manuals, video instructions, etc. The evolution technology nowadays has generated mature methods transforming movement to digital information that can be processed replicated. Motion capture together with 3D reconstruction provide new ways digitizing handicrafts. At same time, Virtual Humans present craft processes, as well demonstrate tools. For this, tools utilized these need transferred world. In this paper, we TooltY, a authoring platform tool presentation environments, simple hammer, scissors, screwdriver), where product reconstruction. derives from motion capture, while novel approach is used, inducing human capture. products TooltY Environments experienced or through immersion Reality.
