Visual3D Tools Compute Model Based Data: Target Path

Although we typically use Visual3D for segment-based data, tracking the motion of a specific target has proven to be a very interesting feature for the field of Biomechanics. Using motion capture systems to obtain the 3D coordinates of a marker is essentially what they are designed to do. However, using  Compute Model Based Data we can also track the path of a target with respect to any coordinate system defined in our model, including body segments.

For a more complete understanding of what a target path is, and how to use it, check out the dedicated Visual3D Principles Tutorial.
