    摘要: A motion capture tracking device comprising a base portion including a first alignment feature, a first magnetic element and an attachment mechanism operative to mechanically couple the base portion to a rod, a detachable end cap configured to be removably mated with the base portion, and a plurality of motion capture markers coupled to the end cap. The detachable end cap can include a second alignment feature and a second magnetic element, such that, during a mating event in which the detachable end cap is coupled to the base portion, the second alignment feature cooperates with the first alignment feature to ensure that the base portion and detachable end cap are mated in accordance with a unique registration and the second magnetic feature cooperates with the first magnetic feature to magnetically retain the detachable end cap in physical contact with the base portion upon completion of the mating event.

    摘要: Some implementations of the disclosure are directed to techniques for facial reconstruction from a sparse set of facial markers. In one implementation, a method comprises: obtaining data comprising a captured facial performance of a subject with a plurality of facial markers; determining a three-dimensional (3D) bundle corresponding to each of the plurality of facial markers of the captured facial performance; using at least the determined 3D bundles to retrieve, from a facial dataset comprising a plurality of facial shapes of the subject, a local geometric shape corresponding to each of the plurality of the facial markers; and merging the retrieved local geometric shapes to create a facial reconstruction of the subject for the captured facial performance.

    摘要: An immersive content presentation system can capture the motion or position of a performer in a real-world environment. A game engine can be modified to receive the position or motion of the performer and identify predetermined gestures or positions that can be used to trigger actions in a 3-D virtual environment, such as generating a digital effect, transitioning virtual assets through an animation graph, adding new objects, and so forth. The use of the 3-D environment can be rendered and composited views can be generated. Information for constructing the composited views can be streamed to numerous display devices in many different physical locations using a customized communication protocol. Multiple real-world performers can interact with virtual objects through the game engine in a shared mixed-reality experience.

    摘要: Embodiments can enable motion capture cameras to be optimally placed in a set. For achieving this, a virtual set can be generated based on information regarding the set. Movement of a virtual actor or a virtual object may be controlled in the virtual set to simulate movement of the corresponding real actor and real object in the set. Based on such movement, camera aspects and obstructions in the set can be determined. Based on this determination, indication information indicating whether regions in the set may be viewable by one or more cameras placed in the physical set may be obtained. Based on the indication information, it can be determined an optimal placement of the motion capture cameras in the set. In some embodiments, an interface may be provided to show whether the markers attached to the actor can be captured by the motion capture cameras placed in a specific configuration.

    摘要: Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed for UV packing. The system includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium operatively coupled to processors. The non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processors to perform a number of operations. One operation is to present a packing map using a graphical user interface including a selection tool. Another operation is to present a first set of one or more target objects using the graphical user interface. Individual ones of the first set include one or more features. One operation is to receive a first user input. Another operation is to, based on the first user input and the one or more features corresponding to the individual ones of the first set, pack the first set into a packing map.

    摘要: In one general aspect, a method is described. The method includes generating a positional relationship between one or more support structures having at least one motion capture mark and at least one virtual structure corresponding to geometry of an object to be tracked and positioning the support structures on the object to be tracked. The support structures has sufficient rigidity that, if there are multiple marks, the marks on each support structure maintain substantially fixed distances from each other in response to movement by the object. The method also includes determining an effective quantity of ray traces between one or more camera views and one or more marks on the support structures, and estimating an orientation of the virtual structure by aligning the determined effective quantity of ray traces with a known configuration of marks on the support structures.
