A series exploring the many options available in Visual3D and showing how to use the tools to get the most out of your data.

In order to identify the exact event in your data, at some point in your Visual3D pipeline development, you will most likely need to use the event threshold command. In this tutorial, we show you how to set up the command and use the various options available in it.
The pattern in your signal as something is happening can be interesting. To identify it, you will want to use the pipeline command Event Onset. It could be confused with Event Threshold, but it is different, and quite useful. In this tutorial, we show you how to use it.
Although Visual3D provides many event identification tools, they are not always quite enough to find the exact moment in time you were looking for. Sometimes you need to use external devices to identify events, but they are not always an option. In this tutorial, we show you how to find events in similar patterns of your data using Target Pattern Recognition.
You have probably found Target Pattern Recognition to be a very useful tool. However, if you simply use the pipeline command, you probably found it limiting as you must have the same pattern within the trial you are processing. In this tutorial, we show you how to save TPR from one file, and use it on another.
Within Visual3D, we have many ways to identify events in our data. However, sometimes, simply identifying a specific moment in time is not enough. Sometimes, it is necessary to use some of those events to calculate an event between them. In this tutorial, we show you how to use the pipeline command event between to use a pair of events to create another event between them.
Mastering the use of the Compute Model Based Data feature of Visual3D goes a long way to achieving your biomechanical goals. In this tutorial, we focus on the use of the GUI to perform a variety of operations.
As you learn more about the Compute Model Based Data function in Visual3D, you will realize that it goes far beyond an easy-to-use interface. As a pipeline command, you have full access to all of the same features in the GUI, but can use the text version to improve automation through scripting your custom pipelines. In this tutorial, we give you an overview of how to modify the Compute Model Based data pipeline command.
The joint angle calculation in Visual3D is a feature of Compute Model Based Data. In this tutorial, we show you how to use both joint angle and helical angle functions to calculate the angle between two segments.
Calculating the joint angle is a key contribution to biomechanics by the Compute Model Based Data feature. However, the rotation between two segments is very complex, and a simple joint angle calculation may not be sufficient to describe the motion. In this tutorial, we show you how to use the joint rotation fuction.
Joint kinematics are a staple element of motion capture biomechanics reporting. In this tutorial, we show you how to use the Compute Model Based Data function to calculate joint velocity and acceleration.
