What is Motion Capture and Tracking

Motion Capture is a technology that records human movements and converts them into digital data. This technique is widely used in the film, gaming and animation industries to create realistic animations. Actors wear special suits equipped with sensors or markers that accurately record their movements. This data is then used to bring digital characters to life in 3D environments.

Motion Tracking refers to accurately tracking a person's movements using sensors or cameras. This process can include both optical systems (cameras that track markers) and non-optical systems (wireless sensors). Motion Tracking is not only used in entertainment, but also in sports, healthcare and industrial applications, for example for motion analysis and performance improvement. An emerging marker-less tracking system from Move AI is revolutionizing the field. See the results you can achieve with their tools.

Applications:

• Film and animation : For creating lifelike animations and action scenes.
• Sports and healthcare : Analysis of athletic performance and rehabilitation of patients.
• Industry : Improving precision in robotics and production processes.

Cost-Effectiveness of Motion Capture and Tracking

Thanks to advances in technology, Motion Capture is now more accessible than ever to smaller studios and even the general public. Affordable and easy-to-use systems allow smaller production companies to create high-quality animations without major investments. In our comprehensive guide to Motion Tracking, we provide insight into how we used this technology in a cost-effective way in our new animation.
