Rokoko Vision

Rokoko Vision – Rokoko Vision is a markerless motion capture solution that allows creators to capture full-body human motion using just cameras (like a simple webcam or smartphone cameras) rather than traditional mocap suits with sensors. Part of Rokoko’s motion capture ecosystem, Vision is aimed at making mocap more accessible.

With Rokoko Vision, an animator or game developer can record themselves (or an actor) performing actions, and the software’s AI will interpret the video to extract the 3D motion of the person. That motion data (bone rotations, joint positions over time) can then be applied to a 3D character in animation software or game engines, effectively bringing the character to life with the recorded performance.

The setup could be as easy as placing your phone to film you and letting the app do the rest in the cloud. Rokoko Vision emphasizes real time or near real-time feedback – meaning you could potentially see a live preview of your 3D character moving as you move, which is great for quick iteration and virtual production scenarios. The accuracy and detail captured (like smaller movements or fast actions) might not match an expensive optical mocap stage, but it’s impressive for requiring no special hardware. This opens up motion capture to indie creators, small studios, or even hobbyists who want realistic movements for characters without investing in a suit or multi-camera setup. It can capture movements like walking, dancing, fighting choreography, etc., through AI pose estimation and then convert that into standard animation file formats (like FBX). In summary, Rokoko Vision demonstrates how AI can democratize animation: it turns ordinary video into animatable motion files, cutting down time and cost. It’s a tool that exemplifies the future of mocap – more instant and accessible – empowering creators to animate characters by simply acting things out in front of a camera.
