MobileCap vs Unreal VCam

Instead of buying an expensive and cumbersome motion capture suit, or tediously animating by hand, record 3D animations with nothing more than your iOS device! Powered by ARKit, MobileCap allows for full body 14-point tracking in real time from your device's camera. Once you've completed a capture, make refinements with a comprehensive set of export options, preview your adjustments in the app, and then export the capture as an FBX animation file that can be used in all common 3D modeling programs and game engines, or as a CSV spreadsheet full of rotation data. Use a LiDAR enabled device such as the iPhone 12 Pro or iPad Pro 2020 or later for more accurate tracking. Note: Body tracking functionality requires an A12 Bionic processor. This is limited to the iPhone Xs and Xs Max, iPhone XR, iPad mini 5th generation, iPad Air 3rd generation, iPad Pro (2018), and any newer devices. However, all other app functionality can be evaluated on other devices.

Virtual production-ready cinematography in real time from your iPad or iPhone -- Unreal VCAM for Unreal Engine. Translate traditional filmmaking concepts like camera lensing, framing, and movement into Unreal Engine’s digital realm. Record realistic camera takes that can be further fine-tuned in editor to create elegant final compositions when assembled in Unreal Engine’s Sequencer. Review early set environments through the lens, previs shot cameras before a shoot, capture real takes during principal photography, create a new shot in post, or all of the above. Camera movement via ARKit: • Stream out the positional and rotational data live to an Unreal Engine instance via Live Link over a network. • Drive the 3D camera within the real time environment. • Record the camera data via Take Recorder for use in Sequencer. Stream the camera view live from Unreal Engine: • Visualize the shot on the iPad or iPhone with accurate depth of field. • Modify camera parameters such as lens focus, iris, and zoom with immediate feedback. • Review previously recorded takes and store bookmarks to interesting locations within the world. Timecode support for multi-device synchronization: •Select from the iPhone system clock, an NTP server, or use a Tentacle Sync to connect with a master clock on stage.
