Visual3D v6 Professional is a specialized software suite developed by C-Motion (now part of HAS Motion) for advanced 3D biomechanics analysis and modeling. It is designed primarily for researchers, clinicians, and engineers working in fields like sports science, rehabilitation, orthopedics, and human movement studies. The software processes motion capture data to quantify and visualize human movement, enabling users to build biomechanical models, analyze kinematics and kinetics, and generate reports. It supports integration with various hardware systems, making it a versatile tool for gait analysis, joint mechanics, and musculoskeletal simulations.
Key Features
- Data Import and Compatibility: Reads industry-standard C3D files from any motion capture system (e.g., Vicon, Qualisys, or Motion Analysis). It also handles real-time streaming data for live processing.
- Modeling and Analysis: Allows creation of custom 3D biomechanical models, including segment definitions, joint constraints, and force plate integration. Supports filtering (e.g., Butterworth low-pass at 10-20 Hz), event detection, and calculations for angles, forces, moments, and powers.
- Visualization: Includes a 3D viewer with OpenGL-based rendering for animating models, skeletons, and trajectories. Users can control camera perspectives via mouse for detailed inspections.
- Reporting and Export: Generates customizable reports, graphs, and exports in formats like AVI for animations or CSV for data.
- Professional Membership Perks: Purchasing a license includes access to v6 software, online courses (e.g., Visual3D Basics, Expert Builder), tutorial series (Principles and Tools), and email support. Support is free for the first year and optional thereafter, but the software runs indefinitely without it.
