Motion Capture

Motion capture, often abbreviated as MoCap, is a technology used to record the movements of objects or people. In entertainment, it involves placing sensors or cameras on an actor to track their movements in real time. This data is then used to create realistic animations for films, video games, and virtual reality. Motion capture helps animators replicate lifelike motions, making characters more believable. It has applications beyond entertainment, including sports, rehabilitation, and research in biomechanics, offering insights into human movement and performance.
