# Genesis Overview
### **What is Genesis?**
Genesis is the first enterprise grade product launched by [MOVE](https://www.move.ai/) to facilitate optical quality motion capture data with a dedicated wired in-system. It is the motion capture industries highest quality markerless solution with ability for real time pre-visualisation and a one click post processing solve. It is the only markerless system designed end to end to run on premise locally utilising readily available Nvidia GPUs and an instantly downloadable desktop application. Genesis has been born out of a four year development project to create a production ready motion capture system with our client Electronic Arts.
### **How does Genesis work?**
Our system leverages deep learning to identify human key points across multiple 2D camera feeds, accurately reconstructing motion in 3D. By processing this data through a local network, we apply advanced biomechanical and kinematic models to ensure a high-fidelity, lifelike representation of the performers. The resulting data can be seamlessly retargeted within a 3D platform of your choice for animation or realistic visual effects.
