[Product Introduction] iPi Motion Capture | Mocap 3D motion capture software

ipi motion capture software

Real-time 3D motion capture software "iPi Motion Capturepage has been added.

iPi Motion Captureis a software solution for AI-powered 3D motion capture and animation.

What is iPi Motion Capture?

A real-time 3D motion capture software that tracks movements captured by multiple cameras or depth sensors.

The iPi Motion Capture ecosystem includes the following components:

iPi Mocap Studio(iPi Studio): Motion capture data creation, editing, and analysis tools
iPi Biomech Add-on: A tool for detailed investigation and analysis based on biomechanical models
iPi Automation Add-on: Automation capabilities – integration with external tools and processes
iPi Recorder: A recording tool that effectively collects video data from cameras

By combining these components, you can generate high-quality motion capture data and analyze that data effectively.

iPi Motion Capture captures body movements in real time and can be linked with various sensors and devices such as Intel RealSense D455 Depth Camera, GoPro, and web cameras for animation and game production.

  • Production of 3D animation
    By reflecting real human movements in CG characters, we create animations with a more vivid sense of life.
  • Game development
    Apply realistic motion data to game characters for a more immersive gaming experience.
  • Virtual reality (VR) application
    Real human movement data is essential to providing users with a realistic experience.The captured data is reflected in the VR space.
  • Sports biomechanics research
    Analyze athlete movements and use them for coaching and training.
  • Previsualization
    Motion data is also used in movie production to simulate visual effects.

  • Pro: A model for professionals that can capture rotations and fast-moving motions

In addition to this,Biomech Add-on"When"Automation Add-ons” Two add-ons are available.

  • Biomech Add-on: A tool for detailed biomechanical analysis of human movement
  • Automation Add-ons: Tools to control iPiRecorder and iPiMocapStudio

Another free software, iPi Recorder, is used in conjunction with iPi Mocap Studio.This is a tool for collecting video data from camera devices (webcams, depth sensors, etc.) for motion capture.

The license includes a perpetual license that allows you to use the version at the time of purchase forever.Perpetual license” and annual license “One year rent(subscription)"there is.In either case, volume discounts apply for 2 or more licenses.
