  • MOTION CAPTURE USING CONCAVE REFLECTOR STRUCTURES
    Publication number: 20260154825
    Abstract: A system may perform motion capture using motion capture targets with concave reflector structures. For example, the motion capture target include a target body and a plurality of tracking markers located on respective portions of the surface of the target body. At least one tracking marker of the plurality of tracking markers may be a concave reflector structure including a tapered hole in the surface of the target body and at least a portion of a surface of the tapered hole may be reflective.

  • SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES OF MOTION CAPTURE
    Publication number: 20260094295
    Abstract: A motion capture object that includes the use of two types of markers for tracking and identifying motion capture objects within a motion capture environment. The system includes belt markers and motion capture markers. The belt markers are configured to divide the object into separate hemispheres (e.g., a first and second hemisphere). The motion capture markers in each hemisphere are positioned in different patterns. The motion capture markers in the first hemisphere are positioned in a first pattern that is unique to the first hemisphere. The motion capture markers in the second hemisphere are positioned in a second pattern that is unique to the second hemisphere.

  • Motion capture using concave reflector structures
    Patent number: 12561816
    Abstract: A system may perform motion capture using motion capture targets with concave reflector structures. For example, the motion capture target include a target body and a plurality of tracking markers located on respective portions of the surface of the target body. At least one tracking marker of the plurality of tracking markers may be a concave reflector structure including a tapered hole in the surface of the target body and at least a portion of a surface of the tapered hole may be reflective.
