Performance Capture Technology

What Is Performance Capture?

Performance capture goes beyond traditional motion capture by recording not just body movement, but also detailed facial expressions, hand articulation, finger motion and overall performer nuance. This enables the creation of highly realistic digital characters and immersive interactive experiences.

Modern performance capture workflows combine multiple technologies, including motion capture suits, VR gloves, facial capture systems and hybrid devices, to create a complete digital representation of a performer.

Full Performance Capture Workflow

Our performance capture ecosystem includes:

• Motion capture suits for full-body tracking (optical and inertial)

• VR and haptic gloves for finger and hand animation

• Facial capture systems for expression tracking

• Hybrid mobile capture devices for flexible on-set recording

Core Performance Capture Hardware

We support leading technologies including:

Captive Motion Core HMC, advanced handheld capture devices designed for high-fidelity performance capture workflows, enabling flexible and portable motion capture for production environments.

We also support innovative smartphone-based capture solutions such as Radical Vision iPhone HMC, allowing creators to capture hand and performance data using accessible mobile hardware.

Gloves & Hand Tracking Integration

Hand and finger tracking is a critical part of performance capture. Our range of VR gloves integrates seamlessly into full-body capture pipelines, providing accurate articulation data for animation, virtual production and XR applications. These systems can be combined with optical or inertial body tracking to create complete digital performances.

Applications for Performance Capture

Performance capture is used across:

• Film & Television

• Character Animation & VFX

• Virtual Production

• Games Development

• XR & Immersive Experiences

• Digital Humans & Avatars

• Robotics & AI Training Data

• Research & Human Motion Studies

• Healthcare & Rehabilitation

• Live Performance & Stage Production

Hybrid Capture Workflows

Modern studios often combine multiple capture technologies to achieve the best balance of accuracy, flexibility and cost. Optical systems provide high precision in controlled environments, while inertial and mobile capture tools allow for rapid deployment, location shooting and experimental workflows.
