Wearable Motion Capture

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the all-your-motion-are-belong-to-us dept.

AnonymousHack writes "Swiss and MIT researchers have developed a wearable kit that will capture your every move for mapping onto a virtual character. It's almost as accurate as the camera-based motion capture used in studios to develop games. The team have recorded people's movements in completely new locations — like driving a car — previously out of reach. There is even a video of it in action."

    How about in their favourite furry suit, doing their favourite furry thing?*

    Ob ISR In Soviet Russia motion captures YOU!

    Ob IaBC ... no, I just can't do it. I just can't imagine a beowulf cluster of people in motion capture suits! I won't! Ha ha ha ha ha!

    *Whatever that may be.
