The Biomechanics of Movement Collection is intended for researchers and students to access and utilize video clips of human movements. This digital archive resource provides a mechanism for bringing together engineers, animators, computer scientists, and kinesiologists to collectively solve meaningful real world problems fundamental to functional movement. This digital collection of movement video clips is created by members of the USC Biomechanics Research Laboratory in collaboration with USC Libraries. The five primary facets of the Biomechanics of Motion Collection are Tasks, Actors, Abilities, Equipment and Views. The secondary facets are Task Details, Actor details, Ability details, Equipment detail, View details, Trial Number and Frame rate. The files name of each video clip incorporate sequential abbreviations of the five primary facets and then the secondary facets separated by a hyphen. Given below is an explanation of primary facet codes used for generating such file names:
