How motion capture technology can measure human behaviour

Motion Capture technology has become commonplace in Hollywood.

In an unusual partnership between actors and engineers, researchers at the University of Southern California are developing systems that could help children with autism and couples who are going through marriage therapy.

Peter Bowes met Professor Shri Narayanan, who is running the project, and his team of researchers.
