Realviz Movimento - Impressions?

[panthon]

Hi there!



I was taking a look at this software in order to create a cheap n quick full body motion capture system. It looks like with 2 or 3 miniDV cams and a bunch of ping pong balls attached to someone, u could be able to retrieve some nice mocap from that. Im willing to try something like that in order to create our custom mocap files, but have my doubts about the practical use of it and the overall accuracy. Any experience with that?

Thanks!

there's a very peculiar calibration to be done in advance.
They make it sound easy in their videos, but i suspect it's not.
Many systems that evince 3d from 2d footage(s) suffer from cascading precision issues.
I have no first hand experience of this one, but it doesn't look the easiest of tools, compared to hardware mocap.
Maybe slightly cheaper, though.
