General information
- Short Summary
- The product comprises two main endpoints, the MoCap Studio, a standalone application, and the web platform that provides the post-processing services. The former allows the users to set the optical system (camera placement, calibration, configuration) and orchestrate their captures along with real-time visualizations. The latter constitutes the control point where the users can further process their captures, from simple data exporting to the application's extra post-processing services.
- Full Description
-
The company's MoCap Studio is a standalone Windows application for connecting the source sensors and capturing the body motions. It allows the users to set the optical system (camera placement, calibration, configuration) and orchestrate their captures along with real-time visualizations while being able to select among different, multimodal capturing options.
The web platform is the portal that provides the post-processing and generative services. It constitutes the control point where the users can further process their captures, from simple data exporting to the application's extra post-processing services:
- body estimation,
- motion refinements,
- re-styling,
- avatar retargeting,
- motion blending, etc.
The company is looking for partners that will allow them to expand its product line and sales streams through the integration of their products and publishing or sales channels. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The company focuses on the release of next-generation human digitization technologies starting from the development of accurate, affordable, AI-based optical motion capture. With the ongoing evolution towards the metaverse and XR, the democratization of high-quality MoCap is a must, expanding the audience that has access to such game-changing technologies concerning the productivity pace in 3D character animation and content creation in general.
The company's product is uniquely able to address well-known MoCap barriers (either marker-based or marker-less solutions), such as the high costs of specialized equipment and its maintenance, the need for body structure or marker calibration before shooting, the heavy data processing and increased latency, the manual post-processing for motion data solving and cleaning, and more.
The company's core tech exploits a unified representation for multimodal, neural solving and produces a standardized, ML-ready output, something that still does not exist and the reason is the deep of the R&D and the amount of data needed for such solutions. The company overcomes the latter through its low-cost MoCap solutions along with inventions included to its IP.
The market for digitized human motions and motion capture technology was characterized by a competitive landscape featuring several key players. Notable competitors included Vicon Motion Systems, OptiTrack (NaturalPoint), Qualisys, Xsens, Noitom, Rokoko and Move.ai. On top, there are several AI-powered animation tools and software products available in the market that leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to streamline and enhance the animation creation process, nevertheless, still cannot solve the problem at scale. Some notable examples include Adobe Character Animator, Mixamo (now part of Adobe Creative Cloud), Reallusion's Faceware Live for real-time facial animation, and AI-enhanced features in software like Blender and Autodesk Maya. - Stage of Development
