*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.
