Hand Anatomy • Thebase of carpalsattach to the arm (the radius and the ulna) • Metacarpals allow the hand to ‘cup’.
Hand Anatomy • Each finger has three phalanges, except for the thumb which has two. • Metacaropophalangeal (MCP) joints are biaxial and has two DOF rotation. • Other joints between phalanges have one DOF rotation.
Hand Anatomy • Thumb’s Carpometacarpal (CMC) joint has two DOF rotation and allows the thumb to rotate and face the other fingers.
Finger capture is hard with an optical system because • of occlusion • markers get too close to each other
Hand capture with an optical system • Mitten – allows a hand to grasp • Mitten with an independent thumb • Stretchable mitten – allows fingers to spread.
Hand capture with an optical system • Smaller markers • close-up camera setup
Finger tracking (capture) • Often done with data gloves
Finger tracking • Leap Motion
