Avatars without marker suits, using only smartphone cameras - Max-Planck-Gesellschaft

Researchers from Max Planck Institute and Carnegie Mellon University developed MAMMA, a markerless 3D motion capture system that uses standard smartphone cameras to create highly accurate digital avatars, eliminating the need for specialized suits and expensive hardware. This technology outperforms traditional marker-based systems in speed and user convenience, with potential applications across medicine, sports, VR, and film industries.
