In this talk
• Background & state of the art
• What is NI mate (V2)?
• Demo time: NI mate with BGE for games/adds, NI mate with Intel RealSense
www.ni-mate.com
Delicode Ltd
• A tiny three-man studio in Helsinki
• Develops applications that make use of computer vision and 3D cameras
• Revenue from licensing software and doing custom development for clients

Performance capture
• Rather than using motion capture as a generic animation replacement, performance capture aims at capturing an actors full input in recognisable form
• Most of today’s performance capture systems are expensive and time consuming to setup

Markerless systems
• Faster take up time, but traditionally less accurate than marker based solutions (equals more cleaning)
• Examples of markerless capture systems are IPISoft and Captury
Natural Interaction Mate or [animate]

NI mate• NI mate doesn’t aim to compete with
professional solutions, but rather offers an easy to use, entry level real-time solution for markerless motion capture
• Different sensors have different strong points, while the number of supported simultaneous devices is limited only by SDK or hardware (USB bandwidth) limitations

NI mate (cont’d)• Use cases are numerous and range from
animation to installations to digital signage (advertisement) to game development to VR
• Already supports a wide range of 3D cameras on the market today
• A range of official plugins, such as the one for Blender, makes integrating NI mate to varied work flows simple
