![]() This is all to say that when looking at a mocap solution, your decision will be based on capture quality, budget, and setup constraints. In contrast, camera-based systems provide more accurate positional data (meaning less animation cleanup needed for multi-person animation interactions) but take much more time and space to set up. IMU-based systems are very portable and easy to set up, but at the cost of exact positional accuracy. IMU-based mocap suits range from $500 - $10,000+, and camera-based systems start around $2000 on the lowest end, and usually cost upwards of $15,000. The Rokoko Smartsuit fills an interesting place in the motion capture spectrum. The suit also requires a 5000 mAh battery which you have to buy separately (they cost about $30). They describe their IMUs as “9DOF”, a term which refers to the presence of an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer in order to deliver full spatial and rotational tracking.įor $2,500 you receive the sleek black nylon suit in your choice of size (S, M, L, XL), the 19 IMUs already placed inside the suit, a cable to attach the suit to your computer for setup, a nice carrying case, and a hanging suit-bag with hanger. The Rokoko Smartsuit Pro uses 19 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors to track your full body, minus the fingers. However, can a small company from Denmark deliver on that promise with its $2,500 mocap suit? Rokoko’s mission is to “democratize motion capture." As an indie VR game developer and Unity software educator, that’s the kind of mission I can get behind. ![]() The following post was written by guest reviewer Sky Nite.
