Motion capture is the process of recording 3D movement. It's used to bring digital characters to life in 3D video games and visual effects films. Today developers have 2 methods to capture 3D movement.

  1. Optical cameras that require athletes and actors to wear lycra suits in dimly-lit studio environments.
  2. IMU systems work outdoors, but require body-worn technology to interpolate movement.

Neither provide actors and athletes the natural environments they prefer.

Move.ai’s AI-powered software technology allows motion capture to go into the wild. Leveraging consumer-grade video cameras, their AI SAAS democratizes the capture of sports, music, and other performances for viewing in games and virtual worlds. No expensive hardware or mocap suits are required, liberating the motion capture process from the studio and opening up an entirely new 3D viewing opportunities.
