The purpose of this study is to compare the conducting movements of professional conductors and music college students using optical motion capture system and to reveal the characteristics of the conducting movements of professionals and music college students, as well as the differences in the conducting movements in emotional expression. This paper reports on the use of an optical motion capture system to measure the conducting movements of professionals and music college students in three-dimensional space and the comparative examination and visualization of the conducting movements. Motion analysis was performed to compare the conducting movements of four professional conductors and four music college students, who expressed six emotions. In addition, the correlation coefficient between the movements of the left and right wrists was calculated, and the independence of the left and right arms during conducting was examined. Finally, this paper reports on the creation of a measurement space for measuring actual conducting movements using 3DCG, and the visualization of conducting movements.
