Entertainment - recording for post-production
Motion Captor is an excellent choice for companies who want to have motion capture capabilities in house, but demand the highest quality data for integration with their projects in MAX, Maya, Lightwave and Softimage. Whether a company is focused on producing animation for games, film, television, music videos, industrial video or education, they will probably spend less for a Motion Captor system than they might spend on outside motion capture services. Additionally, these companies will gain the benefits of creative control and scheduling, compared with having to rely on outside facilities.

The immense time-savings provided by a well-integrated in house motion capture solution easily accommodates the fast-paced environment of episodic television shows, and can shave days or weeks off of game and film productions.

Entertainment - live performance
Motion Captor is ideal for live performance, given its ease of setup, fast calibration and extremely robust real-time abilities. Use of motion capture for live performance is gaining popularity for use at live events at venues such as night clubs, shopping malls, trade shows and large meetings.

Live 3D characters driven by the Motion Captor system create very compelling television shows without the production overhead usually required to produce character animation. Results are instantaneous, rather than slow and laborious.

Alias MotionBuilder Pro is opening new doors for motion capture in live performance, thanks to its broadcast quality input / output capabilities, 3d matte objects and integration with camera trackers and virtual sets. By combining the Motion Captor system with datagloves and Alias MotionBuilder Pro, new content can be created immediately in real-time, allowing television stations to create new 3D content daily.

Entertainment - pre-visualization
Motion Captor with MotionBuilder Pro offers directors and game designers new ways to visualize a production. Storyboards come to life as the animators are creating animatics in real-time via the Motion Captor system. In addition to providing the vehicle for rendering 3D characters and scenery in real-time, MotionBuilder Pro facilitates easy visualization of complex camera moves and triggering sequences that would normally be too complex (or impossible) to mock up for previsualization in the physical world.

Sports
The Motion Captor system is ideally suited for use in sports analysis and training. The best coach in the world is only as good as his or her ability to clearly observe a players actions and relate the actions to the player, with suggested improvements. A session with the Motion Captor system can make help bring players out of a slump and set a team on a winning streak. Analysis with the Motion Captor system can also help coaches teach players to better use their bodies so as to avoid injuries. The markers used by the Motion Captor system do no limit the player's motion in any way. Motion Captor can be used outdoors in all but direct sunlight. Inflatable housings are useful for blocking direct sunlight when necessary.

A golf swing analysis option is available for Motion Captor, to easily help golfers shave strokes off their game. Options for tennis and soccer analysis are also available.

Rehabilitation
As a tool for motion analysis, use of the Motion Captor system provides excellent feedback about the extent to which an injury or birth defect or other form of debilitation has effected a person's mobility. The resulting motion analysis is extremely beneficial for guiding a patient's recovery and measuring their progress towards rehabilitation.

Ergonomic Research
In recent years, there has been increasing realization of the extreme suffering and loss of productivity caused by Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI). Motion Captor can provide excellent insight into the ergonomic properties of new product designs before they are even turned into prototypes. Use of Motion Captor during the design process can provide immense savings during the design process, resulting in products that work with (rather than against) the body.

Simulation
Motion Captor provides an extremely accurate real-time device for use in a virtual reality type of training situation. It can also be integrated with datagloves or cybergloves to provide hand control and even force feedback and tactile sensations. This helps prepare the trainees learn to effectively deal with situations or equipment they have never encountered before. The result is a faster and safer learning experience that will save time and money and help avoid injury in real world situations.
