As early as the late 19th century, Eadweard Muybridge used serial photography to decompose a horse&rsquo;s gallop. Modern biomechanics built on that foundation — with optical motion capture systems that track reflective markers placed at defined body points.</p> <p>Systems like <strong>Vicon</strong> or <strong>OptiTrack</strong> deliver sub-millimeter-accurate 3D data at sampling rates of 200 Hz and above. They are the gold standard in research. But they come with significant limitations:</p>
