The Science of Movement: AUBE Lab Workshop

Students from the Auburn University Biomechanical Engineering (AUBE) Lab, led by associate professor Michael Zabala, will collaborate with Gravity & Other Myths acrobats to demonstrate advanced motion-capture technology—live on the Marentes Stage. This interactive workshop will explore how engineers measure, visualize and analyze the movements of elite acrobatic performers using optical and wearable motion-capture systems, with attendees seeing firsthand how performers are prepared with markers and sensors and how movement data is captured in real time.
