Capture de mouvementLa capture de mouvement (motion capture en anglais, parfois abrégé en mocap) est une technique permettant d'enregistrer les positions et rotations d'objets ou de membres d'êtres vivants, pour en contrôler une contrepartie virtuelle sur ordinateur (caméra, modèle 3D, ou avatar). Une restitution visuelle de ces mouvements en temps réel est faite via le moteur de rendu 3D de l'application interfacée avec le matériel utilisé qui peut les stocker dans un fichier d'animation de type BVH pour être traités ultérieurement dans un logiciel 3D classique (Maya, 3dsMax, XSI, Cinema4d, etc.
Motion controllerIn video games and entertainment systems, a motion controller is a type of game controller that uses accelerometers or other sensors to track motion and provide input. Motion controllers using accelerometers are used as controllers for video games, which was made more popular since 2006 by the Wii Remote controller for Nintendo's Wii console, which uses accelerometers to detect its approximate orientation and acceleration, and serves an image sensor, so it can be used as a pointing device.
Pose trackingIn virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), a pose tracking system detects the precise pose of head-mounted displays, controllers, other objects or body parts within Euclidean space. Pose tracking is often referred to as 6DOF tracking, for the six degrees of freedom in which the pose is often tracked. Pose tracking is sometimes referred to as positional tracking, but the two are separate. Pose tracking is different from positional tracking because pose tracking includes orientation whereas and positional tracking does not.
