Markerless motion capture AI for baseball and sports biomechanics analysis, providing injury prevention insights.
What is Kinatrax?
What is KinaTrax?
KinaTrax is a markerless motion capture system that uses AI and high-speed cameras to analyze athlete biomechanics in real competitive environments. Originally developed for baseball pitching analysis, KinaTrax captures full-body 3D biomechanical data during actual games — without requiring markers, suits, or any equipment on the athlete.
In-Game Biomechanics
The key innovation of KinaTrax is capturing biomechanical data during live competition, not just in a lab. Installed in MLB stadiums and other venues, the system analyzes every pitch, swing, and movement with the same precision as a laboratory motion capture setup — providing teams with population-level data on biomechanical loading that correlates with injury risk and performance.
- Markerless 3D motion capture at 300+ frames per second
- Full-body biomechanical analysis for pitching, hitting, and fielding
- Injury risk modeling based on biomechanical load data
- Comparative analytics across a player's entire career
- Used by all 30 MLB teams
