Motion Capture Systems Training

Expert-led technical training for OptiTrack and motion capture systems — designed for researchers, engineers, clinicians, and technical operators.

Target3D

What it is

Getting a motion capture system installed is just the beginning. To extract reliable, high-quality data, and to keep your system performing at its best, your team needs to know how to use it properly.


Target3D's technical training programmes are built for the people who actually run the systems: lab technicians, research engineers, clinical specialists, simulation operators and anyone else responsible for setup, calibration, data capture and troubleshooting. Whether you've just taken delivery of a new OptiTrack installation or you're looking to upskill an existing team, we tailor every session to your hardware, your software pipeline, and your specific use case.


Training is available at our London studio, on-site at your facility, or remotely, and can be delivered as a single focused session or as a structured multi-day course.

Motion capture installations advance life sciences and biomechanics by providing precise, realtime 3D tracking to study human movement, improve diagnostics, and enhance research outcomes.

This technology supports detailed analysis of biomechanics, aiding in rehabilitation, sports science, and medical innovation.

 

For example, we partnered with the University of Leicester (pictured) to equip their Biomechanics & Immersive Technology Laboratory with an OptiTrack system, enabling gait analysis and crowd dynamics research in a VR environment.

 

Our work with the Berkshire-based wheelchair basketball team "The Rockets" utilised mocap to optimise player performance through biomechanical insights.

Motion capture installations optimise production processes, improve quality control and streamline automation.

This technology enables detailed tracking of tools, components, and machinery, ensuring accuracy and efficiency on the factory floor.

 

For example, Target3D’s work with Loughborough University utilised mocap to refine 3D-printed concrete manufacturing, ensuring precision in construction applications.

 

Our installation for Made In Space, Inc. in Luxembourg supported robotic manufacturing in simulated space conditions, showcasing advanced tracking for cutting-edge production.

 

Additionally, the Prorok Lab at the University of Cambridge benefitted from a 12 camera OptiTrack system to track autonomous robots, enhancing manufacturing research.
