Abstract

The demand for telemedicine systems has increased following the COVID-19 pandemic. Conventional telemedicine systems provide video and acoustic transferring functions using smartphones and other communication systems. However, it is difficult to use conventional telemedicine systems in rehabilitation fields because they require real-time motion data from patients. Here, we suggest a novel system for transferring three-dimensional (3D) motion data to remote places in real time, which is named the “remote motion capture protocol (RMCP).” The RMCP runs on the conventional game engine and multiple operation systems, such as Windows, Mac OS, and Android. It can transfer the 3D motion data of users to remote locations with a delay of less than 500 ms using remote procedure calling. Additionally, any type of motion capture is available in this system if it is compatible with the conventional game engine. This technical note describes the basis of the system, sample applications, and usages of RMCP.
