Full-body motion capture via iPhone/iPad! MICHICON-Plus is a full-body real-time motion capture application that captures and reflects your movements onto a 3DCG character. ・Full-body motion capture by using only your iPhone/iPad camera! When performing motion capture, it is usually necessary to prepare multiple cameras and attach devices such as markers to the target. But with MICHICON-Plus, no special equipment or professional cameras are needed, since the AI engine VisionPose can detect the user's skeleton information via smartphone or tablet camera. ・Motion capture from video files In addition to real-time motion capture, the app also provides the option of projecting movements from video files onto the character. This is a useful feature if you want to make the character do complex movements you yourself cannot perform, such as dances etc. ・Summon characters to the real world using the AR feature! Green screen background is also available! In AR mode, you can either use the camera image as background, or switch to a green screen background. By using the green screen, you can also use a separate distribution tool for chroma key composition. ・Export motion data! (PRO function) Using the motion export function, you can send motion data in CSV format by email. ・Become one of your favorite 3DCG characters ! (PRO function) In addition to our original character Michico, you can add characters posted on the 3D model platform “VRoid Hub”. For more details, please check the 3D model usage conditions of VRoid Hub. https://hub.vroid.com/en/ *AI pose estimation engine "VisionPose Single3D", developed by NEXT-SYSTEM Co.,Ltd., is used for this application. *Adding characters and motion export in CSV are available for a fee. For details, please refer to "About Upgrading to the PRO Version" below. *We used VRoid to create 3DCG models of Michico.
