Motion capture workshop, 2023
This lab is a workshop dedicated to the digitisation of movement and the use of digitised movement in performative contexts. Using concurrent motion capture systems, 3D software and game engines, the lab provides a framework for creativity and exploration. We want to explore artistic and creative questions and see if they can be answered by capturing human morphology, movement processes and biomechanical data. The workshop leaders František Pecháček and Julius Stefan are artists who work with technology, mainly in the context of the performing arts. Radim Vizváry will be a guest tutor in non-verbal acting.
The workshop will explore two of the most commonly used mocap technologies. Optical and inertial, we will explore both in-depth, focusing on the pros and cons of each solution. Other “no suit” solutions will also be mentioned.
