Abstract: An adaptive reflectometric marker (100) is developing anatomical key point tracking in motion capture and biomechanical systems, consisting of modular assemblies (102) that can be placed on specific body landmarks to identify key anatomical points. Each of the assemblies (102) is supported by a conformable substrate (104), acting as a flexible base to ensure the assemblies (102) remain stable and correctly positioned during body movement. On the outer surface of the substrate (104) lies a retroreflective optical layer (106), reflecting incoming light to cameras or sensors, enabling reliable detection of the marked points. Additionally, the marker (100) incorporates an anatomically adaptive housing structure (108), conforming to the natural shape of body regions, allowing stable placement without interfering with natural movement. An attachment interface (110) on the lower surface of the housing structure (108) secures the assemblies (102) non-invasively to the skin over bones, ensuring comfort and accuracy during tracking.
