Mobile motion capture cameras
First Claim
1. A method for capturing motion, comprising:
- coupling at least one body marker on at least one body point of at least one actor;
coupling at least one facial marker on at least one facial point of the at least one actor;
arranging a plurality of motion capture cameras around a periphery of a motion capture volume, the plurality of motion capture cameras is arranged such that substantially all laterally exposed surfaces of the at least one actor while in motion within the motion capture volume are within a field of view of at least one of the plurality of motion capture cameras at substantially all times;
attaching at least one wearable motion capture camera to the at least one actor,wherein substantially all of the at least one facial marker and the at least one body marker on the at least one actor are within a field of view of the at least one wearable motion capture camera.

13. A system for capturing facial and body motion, comprising:
-
at least one wearable motion capture camera attached to an actor; and a motion capture processor coupled to the at least one wearable motion capture camera to produce a digital representation of movements of a face and hands of the actor, wherein a plurality of facial markers defining plural facial points is disposed on the face and a plurality of body markers defining plural body points is disposed on the hands, wherein the at least one wearable motion capture camera is positioned so that each of the plurality of facial markers and the plurality of body markers is within a field of view of the at least one wearable motion capture camera, and wherein the at least one wearable motion capture camera is configured to move with the actor. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)

16. A non-transitory tangible storage medium storing a computer program for capturing hand motion of an actor, the computer program comprising executable instructions that cause a computer to:
-
capture motion data from at least one body marker attached near a tip of each of at least one finger of the actor; and generate a digital representation of a motion of the at least one finger using the captured motion data. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
