Mocap Everyone Everywhere: Lightweight Motion Capture With Smartwatches and a Head-Mounted Camera

arXiv:2401.00847v2 Announce Type: replace
Abstract: We present a lightweight and affordable motion capture method based on two smartwatches and a head-mounted camera. In contrast to the existing approaches that use six or more expert-level IMU devices, our approach is much more cost-effective and convenient. Our method can make wearable motion capture accessible to everyone everywhere, enabling 3D full-body motion capture in diverse environments. As a key idea to overcome the extreme sparsity and ambiguities of sensor inputs with different modalities, …
