KidConfidence Editor Cola had the unique opportunity to suit up and take a PhaseSpace motion capture system for a test drive.
PhaseSpace optical motion capture systems are the industry’s price / performance leader for motion tracking and position sensing. By using active LED markers and advanced software, PhaseSpace systems provide highly accurate, real time data with a minimum of occlusion and dropout errors.
“Nintendo’s Motion-sensing Wii-mote is cool, but wait until motion capture technology will allow us to control games in a whole new way… I can’t wait” said Cola after her stellar performance as Bird and Rhino.
The entertainment industry, with 3D animated movies, animated TV programs, and games, is perhaps the most visible and recognized user of motion capture technology today. Films such as The Polar Express, The Lord of the Rings, and The Matrix have shown the power of this technology in bringing to life the artistic dreams of authors, animators, and filmmakers.
