Performance capture

Performance capture is a technology used in filmmaking and video game development to record an actor’s movements, facial expressions, and gestures in detail. Using special suits, markers, and sensors, the actor’s physical performance is captured and then transferred to digital characters, creating realistic and expressive animations. This process allows creators to produce lifelike characters that accurately reflect the actor’s nuances, enabling more immersive storytelling. It combines movement tracking, facial recognition, and computer graphics to bring virtual characters to life with a natural level of detail and emotion.
