Move.ai

Overview

Move.ai is an AI-based markerless motion capture tool focused on extracting high-quality human motion data from video and generating motion results that can be used for 3D animation production. It supports motion capture through mobile phones, iPhones, HD cameras, and existing video footage. Compared with traditional solutions that rely on sensors or markers, it places more emphasis on flexible capture capabilities in ordinary environments.

The product is aimed at scenarios such as games, animation, film previs, virtual humans, and robotics research. It can automatically retarget captured human motion to character models and export it to game engines or other digital content production environments, helping improve animation production efficiency and reduce capture costs.

Key Features

• Markerless motion capture

  • Uses AI to recognize human motion from video, without the need for traditional motion capture suits or marker devices.

• Supports multiple capture methods

  • Can use mobile phones, iPhones, GoPro, multi-camera capture devices, or directly use existing video footage for motion extraction.

• High-fidelity 3D motion reconstruction

  • Combines computer vision, biomechanics, and physics-based methods to reconstruct highly accurate human motion data from video in different environments.

• Automatic character motion retargeting

  • After capture is completed, motion can be automatically mapped to digital character models, reducing manual rigging and adjustment work.

• Adapts to different production workflows

  • Can be used for keyframe generation in animation production, character animation acceleration, film post-production previs, and virtual content development.

• Multiple product formats

  • The official website shows several versions:
  • Move Pro: High-precision multi-camera motion capture, suitable for multiple environments.
  • Move One: Single-camera motion capture, using any video or iPhone.
  • Move Live: A multi-camera solution for studios and advanced users.
  • Custom Solutions: Provides customized integration and deployment.

• Exportable to digital content environments

  • The generated data can be further used in game engines, animation software, or other 3D content production workflows.
