Aftermarket solutions like OptiTrack’s IR-reflective positional tracking system, which uses traditional motioncapture tech, would be a likely candidate for large-scale, out-of-home facilities looking to use Sensics system however. IR motioncapture for VR, image courtesy OptiTrack.
And it was all surprisingly lifelike for something rendered in the Unreal Engine, led by a motioncaptured performance of Marshmello behind the turntable. But instead of sitting behind a screen while holding a controller, you’re moving and shaking your entire body with friends from around the world.
With no motioncontrols or positional tracking—and VR locomotion hardly worked out at the time—this was primarily a visual demo. The player then controls a tiny cartoonish night who can run around the room and do battle with an opposing player’s knight, or even jump in the lap of the enemy’s avatar. ElementalVR – E3 2013.
Back in 2015, before the moniker ‘battle royale’ was strongly associated with the modern game genre, Bebylon Battle Royale was conceived as a third-person, beat-em-up VR brawler, well before motioncontrollers became a de facto part of the VR experience. At the time the studio expected to launch the game in 2016.
This allows them to recognize specific patterns of movement and hand gestures, making it easier to control virtual interfaces. They’re excellent for capturing and recording detailed hand movements for XR game and app development. Plus, the gloves are compatible with various software platforms, such as Unity and Unreal Engine.
MotionCapture software, or “Mocap systems”, are particularly valuable for content creators looking to enhance XR experiences with realistic avatars, motion, and gesture controls. Mocap solutions are primarily used for the creation of XR content.
The latest funding will be used to intensify R&D for AXIS , a wearable and game-oriented full-body motioncapture solution. CEO of Refract Chng told TechCrunch that the solution they found out was to allow players to use their bodies as game controllers.
That’s lead to motioncontrollers, eye tracking and hand tracking but full-body tracking has stopped and started due to the complexities of this process. The company also plans to release an Unreal Engine 4 plugin later this year as well as expanding compatibility for more motioncapture hardware.
Clearly, this premium headset, set to feature high-quality 4K OLED microdisplays, mixed reality passthrough, and a unique set of controllers, targets a specific market. After all, these features will be crucial if Sony wants to capture the attention of the enterprise market.
With eye-tracking solutions, software can be designed to effectively render the content users are viewing according to their specific needs, reducing bandwidth use and improving clarity. With hand-tracking capabilities, innovators can remove the need for teams to utilize external controllers and devices when interacting with digital content.

Software development engines like Unity and Unreal are becoming more elaborate , there are myriads of SDK libraries, countless knowledge exchange communities and free-for-use collaboration tools. CONTROL & SAFETY With any immersive experience, the user has to have a sense of safety and freedom.
Here, though, through motioncapture, the protagonist is a dancer who moves with grace, who not only does the running and jumping with beautiful agility, but also has a dancing button to move through tangles of vines, overgrowth of plants, and other obstacles. The geometry shakes and breaks as you gracefully move. Credit: Sony.
A decade on and there is a new kid on the block from Epic/Unreal called Metahuman. The animation rigging of the body is joined by very detailed facial feature rigging allow these to be controlled with full motioncapture live in the development environment of Unreal. However there was a bit of a leaning curve.
Brought to life via a combination of motioncapture technology and Unreal Engine, guests at both the party and the weekend event were able to view the digital model on a massive 8K Samsung monitor and interact with the character in real-time. Even after his death, he’s still at the bleeding edge of creativity!
Some of its features are: 2,160 × 2,160 resolution per eye 90Hz framerate 4-cameras inside-out tracking (like the Quest) Touch-like controllers with Knuckles-like finger-sensing Face tracking Hips tracking (for better orientation in games) Integration with SteamVR games Wireless add-on. So this is a market we should all keep an eye on.
So it is not advised to just shoot like crazy a la Unreal Tournament : you also need some strategy and think when to use the grenades or the explosive barrels that are scattered all around the levels. Valve has made this game to showcase the potentialities of the Index Controllers. I love FPS games, and I loved shooting in Half-Life.
It was the community creating and publishing, with almost no control, exactly as it happens today on SideQuest. I’m happy SideQuest is getting this money because it is helping standalone VR to have a creative open store , not directly controlled by the business owner Facebook. The reviews I am reading about it are all positive.
HTC has finally revealed the price of the Vive Pro : it will cost $799 just to have the headset (no controller and no base stations, so you must already have a Vive 1 kit) and will be available for pre-orders since April, 5th. The controller too is very comfortable and does its job very well. So, are you ready? Let’s start!
Patent-pending technology using more than 100 cameras and motioncapture devices track each player in real-time as they move. Vandonkelaar did say their platform will support Unreal Engine 4 and other technology beyond Unity. You can pass them between players; you can wield two guns in the game,” Vandonkelaar added.
