Compared to other solutions we've tried, we've been able to (relatively easily) capture some basic motions that we've used in some of our promos for SALSA With RandomEyes. Recently (about 30 days ago) we discovered a new player in the mocap arena,… View More
Our new SALSA with RandomEyes version 1.2 is feature complete and nearly ready for release.
