Disney and Carnegie Mellon Create Motion Capture On The Go

By now, we've all seen behind-the-scenes footage of motion capture in action -- an actor clad in a monochrome jumpsuit and the occasional handful of colored balls, spouting off dialogue and gesticulating wildly. It used to be that such work could only be done within the confines of a studio, a closed space where a camera would have as little trouble as possible picking up those little points of articulation, in hopes of translating them into lifelike movement for a CGI bobcat or something. Now, according to Disney Research Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University, a recent breakthrough will allow mocap to take place just about anywhere. The big idea? Instead of actors being filmed by cameras, the actors wear the cameras.
