The Python package is published on PyPI ([https://pypi.org/project/opencap-visualizer](https://pypi.org/project/opencap-visualizer)) and has been used by our group to run a parameter optimization across several hundred trials to visualize the resulting motions from OpenCap Monocular, with both the qualitative figures and the supplementary motion videos in [@opencap-monocular] generated directly with the tool. The browser viewer has further supported peer collaboration on OpenCap projects through shareable URLs. The codebase is released open-source under the Apache License 2.0 on GitHub with public issue tracking, automated PyPI releases, and worked examples in the repository. Near-term uptake is anticipated by groups working with markerless motion capture, real-time biofeedback, and large-scale field studies, where the absence of a scriptable, browser-based visualizer has been a recurring bottleneck.
