Motion Capture

High-precision motion capture systems that translate movement into accurate 3D data for analysis, visualization and real-world applications.

- Definition

What is Motion Capture?

Motion capture is the process of recording the movement of people or objects and translating it into precise 3D digital data. Optical cameras track markers — or markerless systems track the body directly — so movement can be measured, analysed and reused across research, engineering and production.

01 Overview

Capture Movement. Unlock Potential.

Motion capture records the movement of objects or people and translates it into digital data — enabling high-accuracy tracking for research, engineering, healthcare and industrial applications.

03 Example Markets

Who uses motion capture

Motion capture serves very different goals across sectors. These are the markets we most often design and integrate systems for.

Universities & Research

Biomechanics, motor control and human-movement studies with publication-grade accuracy.

Healthcare & Rehabilitation

Clinical gait labs, rehabilitation progress tracking and orthopaedic assessment.

Sports & Performance

Technique analysis, injury prevention and return-to-play decisions for elite athletes.

Robotics & Physical AI

Ground-truth tracking for drones, mobile robots and manipulation research.

Industry & Engineering

Ergonomics, assembly validation and product testing with objective motion data.

Media & Virtual Production

Character animation, real-time performance capture and LED-stage workflows.

04 Technology

Motion Capture Technologies

Different applications require different ways of capturing movement. DevinSense combines optical motion capture, markerless tracking and hand/finger tracking to build systems around the actual requirements of each project.

OPTICAL MOTION CAPTURE

OptiTrack — High-Precision Optical Tracking

OptiTrack uses synchronized infrared cameras to track reflective markers with high precision and low latency. Systems can scale from compact laboratories to large tracking volumes for research, robotics, biomechanics, XR and virtual production.

High precision

Accurate 3D tracking of people, rigid bodies and objects.

Scalable systems

From smaller laboratory installations to large multi-camera environments.

Real-time integration

Motion data can be streamed into research, robotics, simulation and visualization applications.

HOW IT WORKS

How marker-based tracking works

01
02
03
04
01 — Illuminate

Infrared light illuminates reflective markers.

02 — Detect

Multiple synchronized cameras detect each marker.

03 — Reconstruct

The system triangulates marker positions in 3D.

04 — Track

Motive reconstructs rigid bodies, skeletons and movement in real time.

Marker + Markerless

OptiTrack Duplex cameras extend the platform to support both marker-based and markerless motion capture, providing greater flexibility within the same optical tracking environment.

MARKERLESS MOTION CAPTURE

Captury — Markerless Human Motion Capture

Captury reconstructs human movement directly from synchronized camera images without requiring reflective markers or a motion-capture suit. This makes natural movement easier to capture and can simplify workflows involving multiple participants.

No markers

Capture human movement without attaching reflective markers.

Natural interaction

Subjects can move and interact without traditional marker preparation.

3D human tracking

Multi-camera images are processed to reconstruct human movement in 3D.

OptiTrack + Captury

Captury markerless motion capture is supported by OptiTrack PrimeX cameras, allowing DevinSense to combine established optical camera infrastructure with markerless human tracking.

HAND & FINGER TRACKING

MANUS — Detailed Finger Tracking

MANUS tracking gloves capture detailed hand and finger movement that is difficult to reproduce using body tracking alone. The technology complements full-body motion capture in research, robotics, XR and human-machine interaction.

Finger tracking

Capture detailed articulation of individual fingers and hands.

Full-body integration

Combine hand tracking with optical or other body-tracking technologies.

Real-time data

Use hand and finger motion in interactive applications and analysis workflows.

06 FAQ

Questions we receive before we start a project

If your question is not answered here, ask us directly — most projects begin with exactly this kind of conversation.

There is no single answer. The number depends on the capture volume, number of subjects, required accuracy, movement complexity and potential occlusions. DevinSense normally starts by understanding the application and room before recommending a camera configuration.
Modern optical systems can provide sub-millimetre-level tracking under the right conditions. Actual performance depends on camera selection, system geometry, calibration, capture volume and the objects being tracked.
Both are possible. Marker-based systems remain an excellent choice when high precision, low latency and robust tracking are important. Markerless technology can be preferable when subjects need to move naturally without preparation. Hybrid environments are also possible.
Yes. This is common in biomechanics and human-performance laboratories. Motion capture can be synchronized with technologies such as force plates, instrumented treadmills, EMG and other analogue or digital measurement devices.
Systems can range from small tracking areas to very large capture volumes. Room dimensions, ceiling height and intended activities are important parts of the initial system design.
Yes. Optical tracking can be used for human motion, rigid bodies, robots, drones, tools, vehicles and other objects. One laboratory can therefore support several different research applications.
