3D Motion Capture Systems Market

3D motion capture systems enable end-users to detect and capture real-time motion and visualize the same on a computer system for further analysis and processing. 3D motion capture systems make use of various technologies such as optical, inertial, mechanical, and magnetic sensing in order to precisely detect and store body movements in a software suite.

The use of optical technology involves the usage of specialized cameras that detect and locate physical human body parts using marker-based or marker-less techniques. Marker-based techniques use specialized cameras to keep track of markers attached to various joints and parts of the human body. With continuous tracking of the markers, the software suite associated with the motion capture systems can replicate the motions in animation. In a markerless technique, the 3D motion capture systems make use of cameras that identify humans and continuously detect changes in their position and posture, thereby tracking their movement.

One of the major applications of 3D motion capture systems on the market has been in the entertainment and media industries. Numerous filmmakers across the world make use of such systems to effectively incorporate human-like behavior into animated characters. In addition, such systems offer a viable solution for filmmakers to create and depict real-life-looking characters without the added costs of sophisticated animation. One of the other major applications includes biomechanics and sports. Various sports personnel make use of 3D motion capture systems to minutely record body movements during various critical moments in sports.

With the capture and recording of such moments, sports personnel are able to identify various areas for improvement to ensure optimum performance. Some of the other areas of applications include medical, clinical science, and industrial robotics. With the decreasing costs of 3D capturing technology and a wide range of applications, the overall 3D motion capture systems market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years.
