Feature Details

Feature Remarks
Real-time tracking with depth sensors for live preview
  • User can see how the motion will look on 3D character, and improve motion accordingly right at the time of acting and recording
  • No need to redo multiple iterations of acting, recording and offline tracking
  • Live tracking results can then be stored to disk for additional offline post-processing

* Currently available for single depth sensor. Support for multiple depth sensors is planned for Fall 2018

Individual body parts tracking for post-processing
  • In case of tracking errors user may want to redo tracking for particular limb
  • Now you can select body parts (arms / legs / torso / head) for tracking
  • Tracking will be done for selected body parts only, other body parts will not be re-tracked
  • This makes clean-up process much faster
Support for new depth sensors

* Kinect v2 (Xbox One Kinect) remain the most accurate option among available inexpensive depth sensors

Support for action cameras like GoPro and SJCAM
  • Ability to calibrate individual internal parameters of any camera allow to use practically any camera including GoPro and SJCAM, and wide-lense cameras
  • Unsynchronized videos can now be synced in iPi Recorder and conveted to .iPiVideo format
  • Action cameras can be used in smaller space due to wide-angle lense
  • Action cameras that have up to 120 fps can be used for tracking extremely fast motions
Ability to sync unsynchronized videos and convert to .iPiVideo format
  • Unsynchronized videos can now be synced in iPi Recorder and conveted to .iPiVideo format
  • This allows to use third-party videos recorded without using iPi Recorder
Improved tracking with the use of motion controllers
  • Rotations are distributed between head and neck joints when tracking head with the use of motion controller
  • Joint limits are taken into account when applying motion controllers data to avoid physically impossible joint orientations
