We validated ATHENA against an industry-standard marker-based system, OptiTrack. ATHENA demonstrated high spatiotemporal agreement across unimanual, bimanual, and naturalistic object manipulation tasks.

ATHENA features a user-friendly GUI, parallel processing, and optional GPU acceleration, importantly not requiring users to do any coding!
