4.  Motion Capture is most widely used in
entertainment, sports, medical applications and
computer vision validation.
 In some fields, it is referred to as motion tracking,
but in games and filmmaking, it is called
matchmaking.
 There are many advantages and disadvantages of
motion capture.
 Motion capture is very different from a traditional
computer animation of a 3D model.

5. 1. It gives immediate and real time results.
2. It reduces the overall cost of key frame-
based animation in the entertainment
industry.
 For example: Hand Over.

6. 4. It allows many tests to be done with different
styles or deliveries.
5. It is capable of recreating complex movement
and realistic physical interactions in a
physically accurate manner.
 These movements and interactions may include
weight, secondary motions and exchange of
forces.

7. 6. The amount of animation data that can be
produced within a given time is very large
when compared to traditional animation
techniques.
 This contributes to both cost effectiveness and
meeting production deadlines.
7. It can be used with a third party and free
software, which makes it cost effective.

9. 1. It requires particular hardware and special
software program to produce and process
data.
2. The cost of software, equipment and
personnel required can potentially be
prohibitive for the small productions.

10. 3. The capture system may have particular
requirements for the space it is operated in,
depending on the camera field of view or
magnetic distortion.
4. When problems occur, it is easier to reshoot the
scene rather than trying to manipulate the data.
 Only a few systems allow real-time viewing of
the data to decide if they take needs to be
redone.

11. 5. The first results are limited to what can be
performed within the capture volume without
the extra editing of data.
6. The movement that does not follow the laws
of physics cannot be captured.

12. 7. Traditional animation techniques, such as
the added emphasis on anticipation and
follow through, secondary motion or
manipulating the shape of a character, as
with squash and stretch animation
techniques (12 Principle of Animation).

13. 8. If the computer model has the different
proportions from the captured subject,
artifacts may occur.
 Example: If a cartoon character has large,
over-sized hands, these may intersect the
character's body if the human performer is
not careful with the physical motion.
