Skeleton data: a calibrated joint-by-joint hand model for animation, analysis, ergonomics, and simulation. Retargeted data: hand motion mapped to a virtual character or object for animation and interaction. The Advanced Hand Solver can also provide ergonomic measures such as joint flexion and hyper-extension for research and human-factors work.
