Outline of Final Research Achievements

In Japan, although many local special traditional skills exist in many places, it became difficult to preserve and succeed, because of aging of these experts and shortage of successors in recent years. In addition, there are much skilled motions for example, sports, dancing, technicians work etc. Therefore establishing the learning method which can preserve and succeed these skilled motions is needed.
The purpose of this study is to preserve and succeed these skills by using optical motion capture system. To analyze human's motion, it is recorded by means of optical motion capture system. We can know the position of joints by using captured data and compare the motion of the apprentice with the expert.
Not only the body motion of skilled person but also the motion of hand and finger, motion of tools and implements were targeted. These various motions were preserved and analysed for skillfulness evaluation, and the technology of succession is proposed based on the analytical result.
