Problems with Motion Capture

• Motion capture tends to require more-or-less exotic technology.
• Even puppetry requires at least real-time graphics.
• Problems with motion capture include:
  • How do we map motion paths to objects of a different shape and scale (the ostrich-to-T. Rex problem)?
  • How do we deal with noise and missing data?
  • How can we reduce the number of samples?
  • How can we generalize motion? I.e. we have a walk and a turn. How do we get an actor to follow a path?
