Abstract

Presents further developments in the Austro-Soviet space project of the year 1991. The technical progress and the authors´ experience in the meantime have enabled them to meet further requirements such as recording motion without calibration in realtime of a test person. The system needs some modifications and redesigning before it can be employed in a hospital or a rehabilitation centre. Essential innovations are the integration of the two cameras in a beam. Additionally, it is possible to configure the system via profile file across the parallel “Centronics”-interface of a host computer
