Problem
Traditional motion capture methods often require actors to wear specialized suits with markers, which can be cumbersome and limit natural movement. Setting up and calibrating these systems can also be time-consuming and require specialized expertise. This complexity hinders efficient content creation for gaming, VFX, and animation.
Solution
Yoom provides markerless performance capture technology that enables high-fidelity motion capture without the need for suits, sensors, or accessories. Using advanced AI and neural network technology, the system accurately tracks full-body movement, including intricate hand and facial expressions, even with props and complex interactions. The captured data can be automatically cleaned and retargeted to any rig, streamlining animation workflows and reducing manual adjustments. Yoom's solutions are designed to be portable and compatible with industry-standard software, allowing for seamless integration into existing production pipelines.
Target Audience
Yoom's primary customers are gaming studios, VFX companies, and animation studios seeking efficient and high-quality motion capture solutions for content creation.
