UMCE-FM: Untethered Motion Capture Evaluation for Flightline Maintenance

TACS07

	.	The purpose of this effort is to explore and evaluate the utility of novel motion capture technologies within the Air Force maintenance domain. A primary objective is to determine the potential of untethered motion capture capabilities for real-time human subject motion capture and performance data collection with full scale physical props. A resultant objective will be to evaluate data collected during maintenance task performance validation for the purpose of instruction generation, and maintenance training. This effort will consist of a domain analysis, a conceptual design definition, a prototype development, and a performance evaluation within relevant operational maintenance scenarios. Program objectives will be achieved by using both university laboratory and field based research to evaluate the efficacy of untethered motion capture for obtaining human performance data from tasks involving full scale physical props, and the reuse of this information within augmented procedural instructions.
