KineMan

Interactive 3D Articulated Skeleton

Introduction

KineMan is a web application that allows you to observe realistic human skeletal motions, interactively and in 3D. You can view the skeleton from any perspective, and you can select & move joints thru realistic ranges of motion.

Features

    Full body motion in 5 DOF
  • Horizontal or vertical translation
  • Yaw or tilt rotation
  • Distance (zoom)
    Joint motion in 1 to 3 DOF
  • Number and directions depend on the joint
  • Kinesiological motion terminology
    Two user motion control modes
  • Conventional sliders, for 1 DOF motion
  • Joystick mode (drag in viewing area), for 2 DOF motion
    Advanced joints
  • Joint groups: move entire cervical spine or lumbar spine using a single control
  • Floating 2DOF scapulo-thoracic joint
    Immediate information
  • Bone identification by hovering.
  • Precise numeric readouts of angles & displacements
    Customized sliders
  • Rotations wraparound at ±180°
  • Translation limits adjust for extended motions
  • Logarithmic distance (zoom) scaling
    Advanced graphics
  • True 3D illumination, surface shading, and perspective, via WebGL
  • Adjustable hatched cross-section views
    User convenience controls
  • Select joint by menu or click on distal segment
  • Undo/Redo, with operation count
  • AutoFit to resize and center the full skeleton
