Using Pre-Viz

1. Starting Motion Capture
   1. Open an existing project, or continue in the project where you completed your intrinsic and extrinsic calibrations.
   2. Click ‘Pre-Viz’ to open the settings.
   3. Note: Projects are stored in the Home/moveai/projects_live file directory.
2. Set the Number of Actors
   1. Select how many actors you want to track (1–4).
   2. Note: Avoid changing this setting while Pre-vis mode is active.
3. Choose a Tracking Area
   1. This defines the detection zone, who the system is able to see and detect.

      Option	Description
      Camera Positions	Creates a detection area based on the perimeter formed by the camera positions
      Polygon	Lets you define a custom-shaped detection area by setting the number of sides and radius
      None	Anyone visible to any camera will be detected

4. Choose an Initialisation Mode
   1. This determines which detected actors the system will actively track.

      Option	Description
      Auto	Automatically begins tracking any detected actor
      Click	The operator manually clicks an actor's bounding box to begin tracking
      Hands	Tracks actors who raise both hands above their shoulders

5. Activate
   1. Click Actviate
   2. Step into the capture volume inside Genesis, indicated by the green outline.
      1. The 2D detection points will lock onto the actors in the space, and actor tracks will begin loading. Once the actor track is created, the mesh will appear.
      2. Note: The mesh will be hidden if your 3D overlay is turned off.

Optimising Settings

The Settings panel is divided into three sections: Mocap Settings, Camera Settings, and General Settings.

Filtering

You can adjust the level of filtering to bias for either lower latency or higher quality mocap. Head to File > Settings to adjust the filtering strength from 0 (least filtering) to 5 (maximum filtering).

Filtering Settings

• Smoother (Body)
  • Sets the smoothing algorithm applied to body tracking data.
• Filtering Strength (Body)
  • Adjusts the intensity of the body smoothing filter.
• Smoother (Hands)
  • Sets the smoothing algorithm applied to hand tracking data. Default: Polynomial.
• Filtering Strength (Hands)
  • Adjusts the intensity of the hand smoothing filter.
• Finger Tracking
  • Enables or disables finger tracking.

Capture Mode

• Quality (Full body + fingers)
  • This mode features a 65-keypoint model with finger tracking and is recommended for high-spec computers that meet our advanced system requirements.
• Performance (No fingers)
  • This mode features a 29-keypoint model with finger tracking and is recommended for lower-spec computers that meet our standard system requirements.

Skeleton Estimation

When selecting a skeleton estimation mode, consider whether fast initialization is a priority. While longer estimation times take more time to start tracking, they deliver higher accuracy for actors entering the space.
