Has anyone successfully used the Sony Mocopi bluetooth capture system in conjunction with Poser? 

After years of not using Poser (version 6) I'm just getting started with this and it is a process... 

I'm using an iphone running the mocopi app to create the BVH file, then transferring that file over to my Windows desktop. When I imported the file into Poser, the result was a bit odd - there may be something I haven't done to preprocess the data. The import tool told me there were many missing nodes. When I ran the sequence the entire figure moves around but legs & arms do not change. Looking in the BVH file, it has joints for torso, legs, arms, feet but not much more.

I don't know much about bvh, but I believe the bvh needs to have a matching bone structure. if it has spine1, spine2, and spine3, poser won't translate into waist, stomach and chest. You might want to check that

Ah! so that's why searches keep turning up 2005 postings mentioning a need to use Python scripts. Probably to convert names from one label system to another.
