Move.ai

Move.ai – Move.

ai provides a high-fidelity markerless motion capture system that can record human movement using smartphone or action cameras. Aimed at professional and prosumer creators, Move.

ai’s solution typically involves filming a performance from multiple angles (for example, placing 2–6 iPhones around an actor) and then using its AI software to reconstruct a full 3D motion capture of that performance. This includes detailed tracking of limbs and body joints without the actor wearing any tracking suit or markers. The appeal of Move.ai is that it promises studio-quality mocap without specialized equipment – the accuracy and smoothness of the captured animation are suitable for production use (films, AAA games, VR content), provided the guidelines like good lighting and camera positioning are followed. The system captures complex motion, even interactions like two people fighting or dancing together, which many single-camera solutions struggle with. Users upload their multi-camera footage to Move.ai’s platform (or use its app), and the AI outputs a motion file that can be imported into common 3D tools. Some of Move.ai’s tech also handles finger tracking and subtle movements if the camera setup is sufficient. It’s designed to be easy to use on set or on location, meaning creators can take it outside the studio – imagine capturing an athlete’s moves on a field and then using that in a video game animation. In summary, Move.ai democratizes high-end motion capture by leveraging AI and the ubiquity of smartphones. It empowers studios and even individuals to obtain high-quality character animation data anywhere, at a fraction of the cost of traditional mocap stages. The result is more creative freedom – motion capture can happen in natural environments or small spaces without suits, opening new possibilities for authentic movement in digital projects.
