I thought i might share it now for fun; it's interesting for <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=cis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cis</span></a> & <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trans</span></a> peeps alike to play with, i suspect.</p><blockquote>This animation demonstrates a framework for retrieving and visualizing biologically and psychologically relevant information form biological motion patterns. It is based on walking data from 50 male and 50 female walkers. Using a motion capture system their movement were recorded while walking on a treadmill.<p>The data were subsequently transformed into a representation which allows for linear morphing. The resulting "walking space" was then transformed usig principal component analysis. A space spanned by the first 10 eigenwalkers was used to compute linear discriminant functions for the respective attributes.</p><p>Sex and weight of each walker were directly available from our records. The outer two attributes were derived from psychological experiments. A number of observers were presented with point-light displays of the 100 walkers. For each of them they had to rate the attributes nervous/relaxed and happy/sad on a scale of 6 steps.</p><p>The procedure is described in detail in these papers:</p><p>Troje, N. F.
