Vergoโs AI-powered system uses advanced markerless motion capture technology to analyze posture and movement from short video recordings. To get the most accurate and reliable ergonomic insights, follow the guidelines below when recording and uploading your videos.
โ
What Youโll Need
Before getting started, make sure you have:
A supported browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Edge) A stable internet connection A smartphone, tablet, or webcam to capture video A well-lit, unobstructed area for the task Access to your Vergo web portal account ๐ General Filming Recommendations
These tips will help ensure that your video submissions result in precise posture tracking and meaningful analysis:
Maintain 8โ10 Feet Distance
Position the camera approximately 8โ10 feet away from the person being recorded. This allows the system to capture the full body and accurately track joint movement. Keep the Person Centred in the Frame
Ensure the individual remains in the middle of the frame. If theyโre too close to the edge, some joints may be missed. Avoid Visual Obstructions
Make sure the entire bodyโincluding hands and feetโis visible at all times. Avoid objects or people blocking the view. Use Frontal or Side Views
Capture the person from the front or side. Rear views are not recommended as they make 3D joint detection more difficult. Stick to one angle for consistency. Use at Least 480p Resolution
Videos should be recorded in a minimum resolution of 480p. Double-check the settings, especially for pre-recorded files. Capture Multiple Job Cycles (15โ30 Seconds per Clip)
Record at least one full job cycle, ideally more if the task is repetitive. Each video should be 15 to 30 seconds long. For longer or complex tasks, break them into shorter clips and upload them separately. Ensure Visual Contrast
The individual should wear clothing that contrasts with the background. For example, avoid dark outfits in front of dark machinery or walls. Choose Portrait or Landscape Based on Framing
Both orientations work, but portrait mode may help keep the full body in view in smaller workspaces. โ๏ธ Special Scenarios
Certain situations require additional care for best results:
Filming Multiple People
Our system can track more than one individual, but accuracy improves when people are spaced out and do not overlap within the frame. Hand and Wrist Tracking
Currently, Vergo supports wrist flexion and extension tracking only. Avoid bulky gloves, and make sure the wrists and arms are clearly visible. ๐ Privacy Options
To protect worker identity, you can enable optional privacy features:
These options are available at the time of upload.
