Motion capture is the process of recording a person’s movements so they can be analyzed and played back right away or at a later time. The information taken in can be as simple as where the body is in space or as complicated as the way the face and muscles move. Motion capture is the method of transferring a person’s movements into the movements of an animated computer figure. The mapping could be direct, like letting a player move a character’s arm, or it could be indirect, like letting a player move their hands and fingers to change a character’s skin tone or mood.
