*From Eye-Balls to Ball-Games: Next-Gen Motion Capture for Science and 
Entertainment*
/Chris Bregler, NYU
/

*Abstract*
This talk will cover several research projects centered around the use 
of vision and motion capture for animation, recognition, and gaming. 
This includes human movements as diverse as subtle eye-blinks, 
lip-motions, spine-deformations, human walks and dances, politicians, 
base-ball pitchers, and the production of the largest motion capture 
game to date. The technical content of the talk focuses on the trade-off 
between data-driven models of human motion vs. analytically derived and 
perceptually driven models using dancers, animators, linguists, and 
other domain experts. This is demonstrated by sub-pixel tracking in 
Hollywood productions, reading the body-language of public figures, 
visualizing the pitches of NY Yankees Mariano Rivera, and the making of 
crowd mocap games in various cultures.
