ErgoImager™

ErgoImager provides unique 2D/3D translation functions that allow you to perform 3D biomechanical analysis using 2D digital images, videos or 3D information from the Microsoft’s Kinect.

ErgoImager performs 3D biomechanical analysis from various models. ErgoImager interfaces with the University of Michigan 3D SSPP model as well as NexGen Ergonomics’ MQ biomechanical model. When using the Kinect®, the software animates a digital human model. Users can record human motion and apply it to a 3D mannequin using various features from our HumanCAD® technology. ErgoImager provides reports with the original images and selected results from the 3DSSPP as well as our MQ biomechanical model.

ErgoImager is one of three NexGen software products that interface to the 3D SSPP, the others being HumanCAD® and ErgoMaster®.

ErgoImager provides results on the screen as well as reports with the original image, mannequin in the posture matching the image and selected results from the 3D SSPP or our MQ model. These reports can be exported to Microsoft’s Word software so that users can easily customize the reports to their needs.

The 3D mannequin is easily positioned over an image to reflect or match the position of the person performing the task in the digital image using the 3D manipulator to perform Inverse kinematics (IK) and forward kinematics (FK).

You can capture and measure anthropometry with the Kinect. Captured images can be included in a variety of reports.

You can also change the anthropometry of the mannequin (subject) using additional ErgoImager functions. The software also calculates the Center of Mass and Center of Gravity.

ErgoImager interfaces with University of Michigan’s 3D SSPP. The versions which are currently supported are: 5.0.9 and 6.0.6.

Captured video and movements using the Microsoft Kinect can be used to create animations which can be exported.
