Report Code: ESR 0716 Report Format: PDF + Excel

3D Motion Capture Market Overview

3D Motion Capture Market is forecast to reach $270.9 million by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 12.1% from 2021 to 2026. The 3D motion capture is estimated to witness substantial growth over the forecast period primarily due to the growing demand for real time data with exceptional temporal accuracy for motion capture. The 3D motion capture records the movement of people, objects and things which are further converted to actionable data to create 3D view. 

By using optical systems they work by tracking position markers or features in 3D and assemble the data to approximate the object’s motion. In case of filming they use different kinds of software to capture the virtual skeleton of the animated character. This is applied in media and entertainment, Biomechanical Research and healthcare and industrial applications.
