Performance Capture
Performance Capture is a technology used in film, video games, and animation to record the movements and expressions of actors. This process involves placing sensors or markers on the actor's body and face, which capture their performance in real-time. The data collected is then translated into digital characters, allowing for more lifelike animations.
This technique enhances storytelling by bringing characters to life with realistic emotions and movements. Performance Capture is often used in conjunction with CGI (computer-generated imagery) to create immersive experiences in movies like Avatar and video games such as The Last of Us.
