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
