BIOMIMO Design & Test: Motion capture and AR techniques to design and test an orthosis prototype

ldquoBIOMIMO Design & Testrdquo is a software application to aid the process of designing and testing IADs (Intelligent Assist Devices), also known as orthoses. This software combines Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and video-based optical motion capture techniques in order to evaluate a prototype without actually constructing it, and to avoid the risk of testing it on a real person. In this paper, as an initial step, it is applied to a 2 DoF (degrees of freedom) arm orthosis.
