Hi there,
I want to capture the movements of one actor - both full body capture and facial motion capture. The facial motion capture i want to do separetly because i understand it is not possible for now to do it simultaneously. So my animated hero will move like the actor does and i want it to speak - to tell jokes or tails, etc. Most of the time i want to show him doing his movements and from time to time i want to show his face talking. Is that possible with the software and hardware you currently sell? And can the $5K package do the job - is all included in it to that kind of task?
thanks

You are correct. At the time we don't have facial mapping abilities in any of our software, however we are working towards this goal. The upcoming full body motion capture solution will provide skeleton mapping, but again, will only create a skeleton, not the facial animations.

If you wish to render graphics based on the skeletal data, a 3rd party software solution would be needed.

If you would like to discuss more details for your specific application, please feel free to email sales (AT) NaturalPoint (dot) com.
