The Optitrak Motion tracking system consists of infrared-emitting and -sensing cameras positioned to triangulate and extract information about the location, movement, and orientation of rigid bodies.
-refer to videos for reflective dot placement on body suits
ARENA software

Streaming Data to Matlab
using arena to stream data into matlab (how?)
