IPi Mocap Studio Changelog
Here you can find history of recent versions of iPi Mocap Studio.
iPi Mocap Studio has build-in auto update functionality. Auto update feature is configured so that checks for update are made once per day. It helps to reduce the start time of the application. If you want to update ASAP - you can use the Help -> Check for Update menu item.
Note that both these features requires Internet connection. Alternatively (in case of troubles with auto update), you can download and run the updated installation program from our website.

N E W F E A T U R E S:
- Head tracking. Enabled by the Enable head tracking checkbox on the Tracking tab.
- Note. Currently does not track face orientation, that is head rotation around Y axis.
- Switched places of Track Forward and Track Backward buttons. The new placement is more intuitive, but may cause confusion for existing users.
- Simplified rules for auto-adjusting the Region of Interest. Now it's touched only if the tracking starts when the current position is outside the ROI.
- More compact project files.
- Note. Projects saved by this version can not be opened by the previous releases.
- Bundled user guides are displayed within the new built-in viewer.
B U G F I X E S:

N E W F E A T U R E S:
- Refines in actor model including skeleton proportions.
- Note. Existing projects should be re-tracked with new model to take advantages of new version.
- Alignment of color video to depth point cloud for single and dual Kinect/Xtion projects. This alignment is based on internal calibration data from depth sensor and should work fine for various depth sensors.
- Note. To turn off this alignment one can use View -> Align Color Video to Depth menu item.
- Coloring of depth data in iPi Mocap Studio now is like coloring in iPi Recorder.
- For single and dual Kinect/Xtion projects background is hidden by default if color video is available.
