“Vicon Debuts Markerless Motion Capture Tech” in “360 Seconds. Broadcast News and Commentary”.
Discussing the latest technological news with our respected experts – Philip Grossman and Mary Ann Seidler. Don’t forget to give the program a like!
Maria Kholodova: Now moving on to Vicon. Vicon, in collaboration with Artanim and Dreamscape, will showcase its machine learning-powered markerless motion capture technology at SIGGRAPH 2023. The innovation, developed over three years, aims to revolutionize motion capture, offering more natural movement in VR experiences.
So Philip, will this actually do anything to improve the VR experience?
Philip: I don’t necessarily think it will improve the VR experience, though it will definitely extend it. You’re no longer going to need a dedicated room with IR sensors, nor those suits with golf balls or ping-pong balls attached. What I find interesting about this technology is its potential for virtual interactions. If I want to watch a VR movie with a friend who lives across the country and see them sitting next to me, this technology could help. They wouldn’t need to wear a special suit; the tech can capture their motion using machine learning. This is what many refer to as artificial intelligence, but it’s really about advanced algorithms and processing methods. I believe this tech will benefit and expand the capabilities of real-time motion capture. I’m excited to see where they’ll take this. And I’m curious: how much processing power will it require? Will we need a massive server farm, or could the same technology potentially run off an iPad?
Maria: Many thanks to our experts – Philip and Mary! And don’t forget to comment on the news we’ve discussed. See you next Monday at the same time! Goodbye!
