Technology empowers you to discover new possibilities. Change reality. Turn big, bold ideas into life-changing innovations.

The University of Missouri ensures students have access to the power of technology. From robots and drones to virtual reality and simulation labs, Mizzou is home to the latest gadgets, devices and systems that are transforming the world. This next-generation equipment lets students learn by doing — a process we call the Missouri Method.

Ready to geek out? Here are some of the techiest tools on campus.

Mizzou Motion Analysis Center

The Motion Analysis Center houses a motion capture system, force platforms, video reference cameras, sensors and more to measure and analyze human movement to assess impairment, frailty and fall risk. There are also electromyography (EMG) sensors that can measure when muscles are active during movement. The lab is used in several classes that allow students to collect and analyze movement data. Undergraduate students have also been involved in building the Mizzou – Point of Care Assessment System, or MPASS, which assesses movement in athletes, older adults and other populations. 

Location: Clark Hall 
Available to: Students working with College of Health Sciences faculty and research collaborators.
