Abstract: The present invention is a system combining motion capture technology and a motion platform with runtime interaction in a real-time feedback loop to provide a physical and virtual environment that has many applications, particularly in the rehabilitation area. The operator and user have runtime control of the system, and the data from the platform and the capture system are processed faster than real-time to generates new data sets which are then re-introduced into the system. A virtual reality environment is introduced and seamlessly interacts with the motion capture process and the motion platform operations to immerse the user in the dynamic physical and virtual environ.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method to provide customizable animation. A motion capture database houses a library of human motion that is accessible via a client-server connection. Users are allowed to select motion sequences and alter these motions in real time over a networked connection to create new and original works of art. In one embodiment, blender software is used to interpolate and extrapolate from existing library data to create the new and original motion sequences, that are developed to comply with bio-mechanical laws, physics and human anatomy. In another embodiment, users can bypass the bio-mechanical laws, physics and human anatomy and create mutations of the motion capture data. The present invention not only allows real time animation manipulation, but it is accomplished over a network by using a client application and accessing the motion capture library and blending algorithm.
