Problem
Traditional motion capture systems are expensive and require complex setups with cameras and markers, limiting accessibility for many creators. This complexity hinders the widespread adoption of motion capture technology in indie projects, education, and smaller studios.
Solution
Rokoko provides a range of inertial motion capture tools, including the Smartsuit Pro II, Smartgloves, Face Capture (Headcam and Headrig), and Coil Pro, designed to be accessible and easy to use. These tools enable creators to capture full-body, finger, and facial animations without the need for external cameras or markers. The captured motion data can be streamed in real-time to industry-standard 3D software via native integrations, or recorded and edited within Rokoko Studio, streamlining the animation workflow from capture to final export.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes indie creators, game developers, VFX artists, filmmakers, educators, and studios seeking affordable and accessible motion capture solutions for character animation and virtual production.
