Compared to previous workshops, this workshop is faster and easier, but the quality is not as good as optitrack.

Step 1: Check if you have everything (including hub, neurons, gloves, usb cable, body straps..etc)

Step 2: USB Interface

• Perception Neuron works in Wifi and USB mode. There are 2 mini USB ports on the Hub

• For USB mode, use the upper port to link the Hub with computer for data transmission and power supply.

Step 3: Prepare Working Environment

• Set up wifi router (set up the unicycle pswd)

• Download and install the sexy AXIS NEURON installation package from neuronmocap.com

Step 4: Put on the gloves and body straps (Thanks to pratik for acting!)

• Plug Neurons into the gloves and body straps

• Put on the gloves and body straps

• Link the Hub with gloves and body straps

Step 5: Link with computer and connect.

Step 6: The four step calibration

• Click on the Calibration icon

• Perform the four-step calibration (steady pose, a pose, t pose and s pose)

• Check real-time mocap animation

Step 7: Open UE4 and streaming (remember to create bp and change to the right name)
