GDC08: Motion capture is serious business


We don't claim to be experts on motion capture technology, but here's what we gleaned from walking around the GDC Expo Hall: it's complicated. So complicated, in fact, that Organic Motion's system can claim to be a simpler solution than most even though it uses an array of 14 cameras and ships with a structure in which to record motion capture. That's right, you don't have to use the familiar mocap suit thing, but you buy the room.

Apparently one artist can record the motion capture from this in real-time with no training. No word on whether or not the system comes with a dude doing continuous tae kwon do.
