Hereโs a basic run down on how we do motion capture for our
#GaelicFootball
Game! ๐ฅ
This method, distinct from camera-based mocap systems, allows us to setup in different environments.
#GameDev
#MoCap
Mocap allows us to collect feedback and record the motion of players in action.
The plan is to integrate these movements into the game to guarantee a sense of realism and immersion for our players! ๐ฎ
