For 6 months we have had 2 student from Chalmers University of Technology to do their master thesis around real-time 3D motion capture using Time-of-flight camera
The technology is used in our interactive installation for Skellefteå Airport.
The students have written a paper about their findings so far that has been accepted at ICIET 2010 and that can be downloaded here: 3D motion capture using TOF
“This article describes inferences derived from practical and theoretical explorations regarding three-dimensional motion capture to develop numerous software applications using Time-of-Flight (TOF) range sensor camera. It illustrates a simple but complete solution towards the development of straightforward 3D motion controlled applications for different public environments.”
Find out more about the hardware and possibilities from our partners Fotonic.
