Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and Carnegie Mellon University have unveiled a breakthrough technology that allows for highly accurate 3D motion capture using only standard video cameras, eliminating the need for expensive, specialized hardware and the iconic skin-tight motion capture suits covered in reflective markers. They named their system MAMMA – Markerless Accurate Multi-person Motion Acquisition. This system is capable of accurately capturing human motion without the need for markers, making it easy and cheap for everyone to create high-end animations and virtual avatars.
