The meeting will provide a vivid platform for discussions on concepts, methods, algorithms and applications of 3D movement analysis for researchers, developers and users. The meeting will comprise a mix of plenary keynote lectures, free contributions and interactive sessions. In 1991 this series of meetings was started to stimulate exchange of knowledge between the scientific and industrial community on the emerging technology of optometric 3D movement analysis. The art of 3D analysis of human movement has greatly profited from this successful 'fusion' between both communities over the first 9 meetings and matured into a well established field. Possibilities were extensively probed and limitations tested, resulting in successful practical application. The theme 'Fusion Works!' equally addresses the exciting current and future challenges of merging established optometric and upcoming methods to achieve the next leap forward in 3D movement analysis. Challenging new frontiers Recent technological progress has encouraged the development of alternative methods based on fundamentally different technologies, e.g. smart textiles, markerless motion analysis, magnetic, inertial or ultra wide band tracking methods, and ambulatory monitoring. For these methods possibilities and limitations are fundamentally different from traditional methods. These differences hold a promise for another leap forward of the field of 3D movement analysis by fusing the best of both worlds of established and upcoming methods.
