However, standing in Takahashi was completely different from a general track and field player.He is dressed in a black tights like a wet suit and still wears a black hat.If you look closely, the suit and the hat have white markers.The number is 57.

Today, we analyze the form not only to practice throwing, but also with motion capture using high -speed cameras that take 400 photos per second.Takahashi entered a circle of throwing, surrounded by 24 high -speed cameras, and was a little nervous.For Takahashi, form analysis with motion capture is the first experience.

First throw.Takahashi thrown a large parabola and stuck on the ground 40 meters away.It is Junya Sawayama, the measurement and digital infrastructure reform department of Toyota Motor Car Development Center, who approaches Takahashi, who has finished the throwing, and focuses on what kind of feeling it was.Masahiro Fujimoto, a team leader in the same department, looks at Takahashi's video on the computer screen with a serious gaze.
