Investigating Social Stereotyping – with Motion Capture
Within the Development coordination disorder stigmatisation (DCD-stigma) project, we investigate the relationship between social stereotype and perception of disordered coordination, jointly with psychologists. 3D motion capture is used as method to record and observe poor coordinated movement. We subsequently visualise the recordings of people with DCD and without, allowing for…
