[Manual] Motion Capture & Player Feature in CameraFi Live
What is Motion Capture?
Motion Capture is a new AI function prepared by CameraFi Live.
This is a function that recognizes a person in a video and digitizes the person’s movements into X, Y, and Z coordinates.
Motion Capture allows you to check whether you are taking the correct posture and maintaining it. If you are a sports trainer, sports club coach, or someone who needs precise movements, I think you will find it useful.
What Features are Available?
Currently, the following functions are available.
1) Skeleton display: Captures human movements with dots and lines
2) Save CSV file: Save the digitized X, Y, and Z coordinates to CSV files
3) Skeleton Player (plays CSV files): replay the Skeleton video with CSV files
