Motive not only allows the user to calibrate and configure the system, but it also provides interfaces for both capturing and processing of 3D data. The captured data can be both recorded or live-streamed to other pipelines. Motive obtains 3D information via Reconstruction, which is the process of compiling multiple 2D images of markers to obtain 3D coordinates. Using 3D coordinates from tracked markers, Motive can obtain 6 Degree of Freedom (3D position and orientation) data for multiple rigid bodies and skeletons, and enable tracking of complex movements in the 3D space. The below workflow pages provide detailed instructions and tips on using Motive for various motion capture applications. \ \&#xNAN;*Note that skeleton tracking related features are offered only with the Motive:Body license.* *** *** Motive Workflow Pages 1.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.optitrack.com/v1.1/motive-documentation/overview.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
