motion capture...

Hmm... I should have been doing my VRML coursework, but I found this page of sample motion capture
data...
http://www.accad.ohio-state.edu/mocap/mocap_data.htm
So, vaguely inspired by a recent demo given by Ruth Gibson of Igloo (www.igloo.org.uk), I knocked up these applets...
http://www.tom-carden.co.uk/p5/dancer/applet/
http://www.tom-carden.co.uk/p5/blurry_dancer/applet/
They're both about 750k, due to the data file, and the second one's a bit slow on a Celeron 433, but you get the idea. Any thoughts?
Update: should have mentioned that you need to drag (left-right) on the first one to get it to move.
Update II: erm, added some smoothing (so it's 'responsive' now, I guess)...

That's really sweet! In the first applet, you should add lines between the cubes, for a more skeleton-like figure.

Yep, but I'm not sure what point is what 
I'm working on it. Take a look at the data sets and see if you can figure it out?

See, all there is is the point names?
C7, CLAV, LANK, LBHD, LBWT, LELB, LFHD...
Some of them are guessable (LANK = left ankle) but I haven't managed to guess them all. When I do, it's be "ankle bone's connected to the leg bone..." time 
Any mocap experts out there care to lend a hand?

I always wanted to do something with motiontracking,
found on this site also some motiondata (bvh-files)

Nice horizon... and a neat way of getting the lines in. I'm going to try and map the points to a nicer model soon.
One thing, wouldn't cacheing these lines outside of the loop() improve the speed a little?
Code:
int i = Integer.parseInt((String)name.get(splitStrings(d[n])[0]));
int j = Integer.parseInt((String)name.get(splitStrings(d[n])[1]));

The aforementioned VRML beckons, otherwise I'd try it myself.

I guess that would be possible, but that takes a long time to load I guess. BTW, I was thinking about creating some kind of 3D model around the skeleton, because 3D animation uses the skeleton-like animation stuff.

Is res the game in which you are a whiteline rabbit running across a white line which varies with the music?

Its actually called 'Rez', my mistake.
Heres a link:
http://www.sega.com/games/post_gamegame.jhtml?PRODID=843
click on the screenshot viewer, and goto picture 9, u can see a red blocky runner. thats the boss for that level - it continually runs through the corridor (you've got to attack all the blocks it is made from). It also morphs and attacks - this section is one of the graphical highlights of the game.
Its PS2 only, but if you can get a chance to have a look at it its worth it (especially in the context of this section).
