Juggling motion tracking data free download!

 

Data was used to create this virtual reality game.

Motion tracked juggling data used to create a juggling sequence in VR.

I’ve been sitting on this juggling tracking data set for a long time, and want to make it available to everyone to create new art and interactive experiences, or for research. The data was used to create this virtual juggling animation using a random sequence of juggling moves from the set. It was also used to create the VR game Neutrino which you can download here.

The data were taken using an OptiTrack motion tracking system while at Keio University, and give the 3DOF information on the ball and hand positions for 3 ball juggling moves.

Included moves:

Cascade, Mills Mess, Take outs under, take outs over, looping and orbiting techniques, tennis tricks, half mills, mills with takeouts, mills variations, box and variations, transitions such as cascade to reverse cascade etc.

Some of the data is quite a raw format. If you have any questions please do feel free to contact me.

In addition, in the folder called ‘JuggleMoves’ there are moves that can be animated into arbitrary sequences, the following describes what the moves are:

c1 = cascade (1/3 rd cycle)

cL = cascade left (1/6 cycle)

cR = cascade right

cL2tL = cascade left 2 take outs left

cR2tR = cascade right 2 take outs right

hL = half mills left

hR = half mills right

hL2mR = half mills left 2 mills right

hR2mL = half mills right 2 mills left

mL2cR = mills left 2 cascade right

mR2cR = mills right 2 cascade left

mL2hR = mills left 2 half mills right

mR2hL = mills right 2 half mills left

mR2tu2hL = mills right 2 takeout under 2 half mills left

mL2tu2hR = mills left 2 takeout under 2 half mills right

mL2t2mR = mills left 2 takeout 2 mills right

mR2t2mL = mills right 2 takeout 2 mills left

mL2tuR = mills left 2 takeout right

mR2tuT = mills right 2 takeout left

m1L = mills (LR cycle)

m1R = mills (RL cycle)

mL = mills left

mR = mills right (mL + mR = m)

c2t2c = cascade 2 takeout over 2 cascade //make LR versions

tL2cR = takeout left 2 cascade right

tR2cL = takeout right 2 cascade left

to = takeouts over (LR cycle)

toL = takeouts over left

toR = takeouts over right

tu = takeouts under (LR cycle)

tuL = takeouts under left

tuR = takeouts under right

cL2mL = cascade left 2 mills left

cR2mR = cascade right 2 mills right
