MVN does motion capture without cameras, makes for amusing pictures

It may be telling that a great deal of the booths on the GDC show floor involve motion capture or motion control. With appearances from motion recognition software like LiveMove, which was used in Just Dance 2, to the NaturalPoint virtual camera rig 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: we wrote about earlier, it's prett𓆉y clear that replicating natural motion, both in real-time and for use in animations, is the Big Thing of the moment.

Another company, Xsens, showed up with what it calls 'Inertial Motion Capture.' Xsens' MVN system does motion capture without cameras - instead, it uses "inertial sensors, biomechanical models, and sensor fusion algorithms" to detect and translate motion to 3D mod🧸els. It's impressive stuff, but what's even better is that the company's demo made for some great photos.

And here's a picture of a guy making fun of mꦍe for taking so many photos:

And here's a picture of a guy 𝄹who isn't Tiger Woods:

And here's a picture of some people who are very interested in Mo🌃ve:

And that was my GDC experience, roughly. A bunch of cameras captu🦹ring motion and putting it on screens.
