Summary

Unplugged lesson aims towards delivering the knowledge of movement and how computers are able to capture and simulate the human movement in order to help disorders and make their life easier and normal.

What You'll Need

Unplugged lesson plan that uses free platforms and free online content, everything is provided and free:

1- Duration : 1 Hour

2- Presentation

3- Tinker-Cad Platform

The Instructions

Motion capture

In this step, we will introduce the theory of motion capture to the participant, and we will present how this technology is helping disordered people.

1- We will ask the participant, what they think about motion capture.

2- Then we will present the meaning of motion capture as technologies that track the movement of people and objects.

3- Then we will present what is biomechanics.

4- Then we will present a video to the participant to show how biomechanics is helping disordered and how the technology is evolving.

5- Then we will ask the participant about how motion capture and biomechanics are connected.

What we will be doing today

In this section we will show participant the needed module to capture and track movement and how its being implemented using servo motors.

1- We will show participant the two ways used in capturing movement, and we will demonstrate one of them.
