iPi Desktop Motion Capture: Single Kinect Sensor Configuration

This feature is supported in all editions. Compare Editions.

iPi Soft uses its own tracking algorithms that give much better accuracy than other Kinect-based mocaps available in the market. This configuration is very easy to use, as it does not require calibration. For those who haven't had experience with mocap systems before, it is a good option to start from.

iPi Desktop Motion Capture with Multiple PlayStation Eye Cameras

This feature is supported in Basic (up to 4 cams) and Standard (up to 6 cams) editions (compare editions). Sony PS Eye cameras are recommended as they give very good quality of video at up to 60 fps. Other cameras like webcams or DirectShow-compatible USB or FireWire cameras may be used but are not recommended. The configuration with 3 to 6 Sony PS Eye cameras is the most powerful option. It allows you to track very complex motions in a big capture area (up to 20 by 20 feet or 7 by 7 meters).
