Vicon object

Vicon marker placement

Place at least three on the object that you want to track.

Why is the second marker placement (4 markers) not good?

Answer: Due to symmetrical structure, Vicon can not distinguish the head and the tail of the object. The position is always good but the heading angle can be deviated by 180 deg.
