This thesis is a study in smartphone applications on the Android platform that communicates
with a motion capture system in real-time. The thesis covers the work in porting
a C library to Android Java with NDK in order to utilize already written motion capture
system communication code. Three dierent Android applications were developed based
on this port; a remote control application, a viewnder application and a virtual camera
application. For illustration, the OpenGL library is used and hence it is also covered.
Comparisons between the iOS application ditos are made and interviews were conducted
in order to determine how and when the applications are useful. Throughout the project
an agile like inhouse development process was utilized at the Swedish motion capture
company Qualisys. At the end of this paper, some issues and suggestions on future work
are brought to the surface.
