Motion Capture Data for Hand Motion Embodiment (Q6767862)

Dataset A dataset of human manipulation actions recorded with a motion capture system. A Qualisys motion capture system was used to record the data. We tracked individual finger movements as well as the position and orientation of the right hand. Some recordings contain additional markers at the back, shoulder, and elbow. The motion capture setup is explainedhere. The dataset contains the original recordings of manipulation actions as well as metadata with annotations of relevant parts of the recordings (labels, start, end). Recordings are exported from the Qualisys Track Manager (QTM) as tab-separated value (TSV) files. Metadata is provided in JSON format. Related software is available at github.com/dfki-ric/hand_embodiment, which also contains code to load and use the dataset.
