The Motion Lab is a research initiative with the Digital Media Design major at Florida Gulf Coast University. We aim to provide open resources in motion studies and animation for use in the classroom, for the motion picture and game industries, and for research in related fields such as biomechanics, medicine, behavior and intelligence.
