MotionRiver<\/h1><\/div>

Universal Mocap Streamer<\/h3>

Imagine immersing yourself in a VR experience in the UK where all the characters are animated by live actors from Australia, or a dance video game that features real dancers captured in Mumbai. MotionRiver allows developers to create new types of responsive experience. From live immersive performances to interactive video games \u2013 the difference here is that instead of repeating the same programmatic or looping sequence, over and over, characters will be able to react and respond in a natural and realistic way \u2013 because they are controlled by real actors. MotionRiver is an innovative open-source software toolkit that inputs and outputs a wide variety of mocap data which it converts into a \u2018universal\u2019 format. Just as Android and iOS work on different phones, there are also different types of mocap data \u2013 and this tool will solve the compatibility problem \u2013 allowing more interconnectivity. The application streams data over the internet to remote computers running the application which can receive and use the motion data in the desired format.<\/p>\n

The innovation stems from research questions relating to how to capture and disseminate liveness across digital platforms:<\/p>\n
