| One of the most significant and primary parts in the design of exoskeletons and kinematic models of the human body is to obtain a reliable set of data. In mechanical and measurement engineering, there are multiple systems to capture human motion, such as; LeapTM Motion, Data gloves, Motion trackers, and Motion capture systems. One of the most effective systems to capture data is the ViconTM Motion Capture System. In the process of capturing data, extraneous and unwanted factors present themselves and must be identifiable, measurable, and quantifiable in order to be eliminated via error analysis to achieve the most effective and precise datasets. The present research seeks to determine and measure the effect of extraneous factors via experimental work in the laboratory with regards to the ViconTM Motion Capture System. The research presents an explanation of the process utilized in this study in quantifying the impact of the extraneous factors on the Vicon Motion Capture System™ output datasets.
