Techniques and Approaches in Static Visualization of Motion Capture Data

In this paper we present a state of the art of the current approaches to visualization of motion capture data. We discuss the data representation, pre-processing techniques, and the design of existing tools and systems. Next we outline the advantages and disadvantages of the systems, some of which are explicitly noted by the original authors. Lastly we conclude with an overall summary and future directions.
