Move Live Overview

What is Move Live?

Move Live is a real-time markerless motion capture (mocap) software by Move AI, freeing talent from wearing suits or equipment, opening up solutions to motion capture anyone, anywhere. Traditionally, motion capture has been the preserve of high budget films, but Move Live aims to make mocap accessible to a much broader audience including XR and low to mid budget VP as well as live events.

How does Move Live work?

Deep learning models have been used to teach the system how to detect key points on the human body within 2D images from multiple cameras, and then reconstruct the motion in 3D. This data is then run through a local, real-time neural network to apply biomechanical and kinematic models to ensure a lifelike representation of the actor/s and their movement is achieved. This data can then be streamed into a 3D engine to puppeteer a virtual avatar in real-time, or simply provide effects such as life-like shadows for a performer on stage.
