# Samples - Body Tracking

This section contains samples demonstrating how to use the ZED camera's [Body Tracking](/docs/development/zed-sdk/modules/body-tracking/) module to detect and track 3D human body skeletons.

> **Note**
>
> This module requires a stereo camera equipped with an inertial sensor (IMU), such as the ZED 2/2i, ZED Mini, ZED X, ZED X Mini, ZED X Nano. The original ZED is **not** supported.

## Getting Started

* First, download the latest version of the [ZED SDK](https://www.stereolabs.com/developers/).
* Download the [Body Tracking](https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-sdk/tree/master/body%20tracking) sample code in C++, Python or C#.

## Samples in this category

### Body Tracking

Shows how to use the Body Tracking module with a single camera and a simple 3D skeleton display. This is the best starting point for the module. *(C++, Python, C#)*

[GitHub](https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-sdk/tree/master/body%20tracking/body%20tracking)

### Export

Shows how to export human body tracking data to FBX (C++) or JSON (C++, Python), so it can be adapted to your own pipeline (animation tools, custom data processing, etc).

[GitHub](https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-sdk/tree/master/body%20tracking/export)

### Multi-Camera Fusion

Shows how to use the Fusion API to track people across an entire space using data from multiple cameras, producing higher-quality results than a single camera. Covers the full process, from calibrating your setup with ZED360 to fusing and visualizing the data. *(C++, Python, C#)*

### Integrations

Links to separate repositories with Body Tracking integration samples and tutorials for **Unity**, **Unreal Engine 5**, and both engines via **LiveLink**.
