I do not like the obvious steps to buy a motion capture systems, such as
analyze your needs, budget, application and your place. All this is
simple. What is not sois simply the separation of good motion capture systems from the bathroom.
While it may be a matter of opinion, what is good and what is bad, there are some aspects
Motion-capture, you should have before considering a motion capture system.

Attention to the slogan "No clean up required"

The indication I've seen often is "No clean up required." And 'disputed that and Vicon
Motion Analysis lesser extent, are the first motion capture systems. These are
highEnd costly Motion Capture systems, which can be in right hands, even
Motion Capture incredible. The data from these systems to be cleaned. If a
Company makes this request for a system that is less than $ 100,000, or who have not
Sense of what "looks good" data or groped for customers who do not know, silly
a lot of motion capture. However, I would not buy a system from them. I see this
Claim and wonder what else is around.Attention to the slogan "No clean up

Look at the video

It took clean the raw data to video? If you buy an 8-camera

It is the character to walk on the floor?

A normal walk is one ofto capture the movements of the most difficult, because everyone has a sense of
what should be similar. There is no good reason to remember the character

buy a system, I see the character as raw data, walk on the floor.

How much space do I need and what is the size of the field of motion capture?

Vicon is the leader in motion capture, but the system needs a very stableArea. There are
Some credit systems do not need markers, video cameras only. Ask how much space

Aspects of a system for motion capture.

What can I do with the information?

Are you a customer, new motion capture. Did you find the perfect motion capture
System for the application. Where are you going to support, if you have any questions
with the data? Call the company and ask how to obtain hardware data
viewer software, animation program, and then in a gameEngine? If the
Businesses do not know how to use the data or do not know how to clean up the data,
walk. Me like to see a company that knows what to do with the purchase,
