CapturyLive
Overland Park, Kansas, USA; Saarbrücken, Germany
What it is
CapturyLive is a turnkey hardware and software system that turns camera video into real-time 3D motion data for multiple actors. It tracks full-body movement; finger tracking is an add-on, and face tracking is available as an add-on or standalone solution. Camera setups scale from four to 12 or more cameras depending on performer count and space. The system records motion and video and exports FBX, BVH, C3D, or CSV data. Charting tools cover 3D kinematics, including bone and joint positions and rotations, with support for AMTI or Bertec force plates. Streaming destinations and protocols include Unreal Engine, Unity, MotionBuilder, BoB, OSC, VRPN, ROS, and OSVR. APIs can support a custom real-time streaming pipeline. Captury says systems ship with Ubuntu pre-installed and recommends Gigabit Ethernet cameras, cables, and a network switch for synchronized video. Trial versions are available by contacting Captury. Pricing is on request. Listed application areas include game development, VFX and film, virtual reality, location-based entertainment, in-game player tracking, and life sciences.
