Pilot study: jazz guitar motion capture (Stein Helge Solstad, fourMs Lab, 6 March 2012)

Motion capture data from a pilot study with jazz guitarist Stein Helge Solstad, recorded at the fourMs Lab, University of Oslo, on 6 March 2012 by Alexander Refsum Jensenius and Rolf Inge Godoy. A single take (pilotSteinHelgeSolstad0011, about 31 seconds) captures the guitarist playing various musical phrases. Motion was recorded with a 9-camera Qualisys optical infrared system at 100 Hz using 23 reflective markers placed on the performer and the instrument (guitar strap, bridge and headstock, head, shoulders/torso, and both hands/arms), synchronised with audio and video. The package provides the raw Qualisys capture (QTM) plus TSV and C3D exports of the 3D marker data, a stereo WAV audio file, an H.264 MP4 video, and reference photographs. Note that the TSV mocap export covers a trimmed window (1199 frames from frame 389 onward, about 12 seconds) while the audio and video run the full take.
