The UCLIC Affective Body Posture and Motion Database
consists of affective motion capture recordings in 2 different settings.
Naturalistic body motions of 11 people in a video game context (playing Wii sports). This data was collected with
a Gypsy5 electro-mechanical motion capture system (Animazoo UK Ltd.)
http://www.metamotion.com/gypsy/gypsy-motion-capture-system.htm.
Acted body motions of 13 non-professional actors portraying angry, fear, happy and sad emotions. This data was
collected with a Vicon MX series digital optical motion capture system http://www.vicon.com/.
