How It Works
Calibrate
Use a standard wand or your proprietary Theia3D calibration board (shipped at purchase) for flawless and fully automatic motion capture setup. This minimizes errors and optimizes data collection, ensuring top-tier accuracy.
Record
Capture multi-camera video in your environment with subjects wearing their everyday clothing. No preparation or spandex suits required. Allow natural movement in the environments that matter.
Analyze
Leverage Theia3D's motion capture technology to track 124 keypoints for precise 3D skeletal models. Designed for Functional Movement, Sports Performance, Athletic Apparel & Equipment Innovation, Biomechanics Research, and Custom Commercial Solutions. Load videos and calibration files into Theia3D for automatic motion measurement and analysis. Export data in multiple formats, including .c3d files, allowing seamless review and reporting of key metrics.

Asked Questions
Yes, as long as your camera system can synchronize video data with the treadmill force signals, the data can be merged post-collection. Theia3D supports camera systems that integrate with Bertec, AMTI, and TreadMetrix treadmills.
Theia3D is a markerless motion capture solution that outputs kinematic pose data in .c3d, .fbx or .json file formats using synchronized videos as input. If your camera system can record videos that are synchronized with external devices, then the kinematic outputs from Theia3D will be synchronized with the signals from your other external devices. If the signals from those devices can be exported to separate .c3d files, it is possible to merge the kinematic .c3d files from Theia3D with the .c3d files containing other measurements in software such as Visual3D.
The following camera systems can be synchronized with external devices and have been verified to work with Theia3D:
- Qualisys Miqus
- OptiTrack Prime Color
- Vicon Vue/FLIR Blackfly S
- Contemplas custom camera solutions
Currently, Theia3D only tracks humans.
Object tracking data can be recorded using marker-based cameras that are synchronized with the markerless cameras, and combined with the human tracking after both sets of data have been processed using their respective methods.
System setup can vary quite a bit depending on the operator experience and personnel available. We would generally recommend budgeting anywhere from 30-60 minutes for system setup and initial calibration. Tear down can take another 30 minutes which includes removing cameras from tripods and packing the system back into portable carrying cases. For more information on setting up a portable system, check out this blog post here.
Theia3D requires six or more synchronized video cameras to calibrate the camera system and produce pose estimates of the people visible in the videos. Video trials with fewer than six cameras cannot be loaded or analyzed using Theia software.
Typically, eight cameras are adequate, though it depends on the occlusions created by the treadmill.
