# How Uplift Capture works

> General overview of how Uplift Capture generates full 3D biomechanics from mobile device video.

Uplift Capture assesses an athlete’s movement in full 3D using only 1 or 2 iOS devices, and generates biomechanical data and movement insights that empower coaches, trainers, clinicians, and organizations to evaluate player movement health, improve performance, and reduce injury risk.

1. The Uplift Capture app takes **high-speed video of an athlete’s movement** using 1 or 2 iOS devices, and uploads those videos to the Uplift cloud for analysis.
2. Using Uplift’s proprietary AI-powered computer vision models, the athlete’s movement is **reconstructed in full 3D**. Uplift’s biomechanical analysis turns this 3D data into **kinematic metrics, velocities, movement flags, and more**.
3. Uplift’s web platform reports on the athlete’s assessment results, surfacing **metrics, insights, and recommendations** to guide organizations and coaches to **measure athletic ability, fix movement inefficiencies, improve performance, and reduce injury risk**.
