2022 marked the very first online‑hosted ChinaJoy. Within the Meta CJ metaverse, players embarked on an immersive journey into the virtual world. Located in the Trend‑Setting Hardware Zone, CHINGMU Vision delivered a well‑prepared online exhibition experience for visitors. Through on‑site promotional videos, attendees could jump directly into CHINGMU’s live‑streaming room to learn more about the company. As an industry‑leading innovator of disruptive optical motion‑capture technology, CHINGMU showcased its ten‑thousand‑yuan‑level motion‑capture system, Prometheus.

A groundbreaking product, the Prometheus system breaks the long‑standing high‑cost barrier of traditional optical motion capture. Founded in 2015, CHINGMU Vision has long‑devoted itself to infrared optical motion‑capture R&D. After multiple product iterations and built upon high‑precision tracking performance, the company has developed two mature solution lines: enterprise‑grade and consumer‑grade motion‑capture systems.

Enterprise‑Grade Solutions

CHINGMU Vision’s enterprise‑grade motion‑capture portfolio, represented by the MC‑Series, is widely deployed across game animation, sensor research, multimodal recognition, sports science, finite‑element analysis, biomechanics, VR and other sectors. In animation production, its technology has supported many well‑received hit titles, including A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality, The Island of Siliang, Joy of Life, Falling Into Your Smile, Awakening of the Apocalypse and Dragon Snake Martial Arts.

Once predominantly seen in Hollywood sci‑fi blockbusters, optical motion‑capture technology has gained wide adoption in domestic Chinese feature‑film productions in recent years. CHINGMU’s enterprise‑grade optical motion‑capture system was used during the production of The Battle at Lake Changjin II: Water Gate Bridge, Nice View and Breaking Through.

Consumer‑Grade Solutions

As metaverse and virtual‑idol culture boomed, early‑generation virtual idols repeatedly topped trending lists, while a fast‑growing community of independent VTubers emerged. Independent content creators urgently needed upgraded technical equipment that delivers better visual results, simpler workflows and higher cost‑performance. Developed to meet this market demand, Prometheus is a genuine productivity‑oriented tool that drastically cuts costs and boosts production efficiency.

In terms of tracking space, Prometheus is purpose‑built for compact‑size environments, supporting capture areas ranging from 3 m × 3 m to 5 m × 5 m. Boasting an extra‑wide field‑of‑view of 83° × 73°, it achieves up to 90 % space‑utilization efficiency, nearly double that of most competing optical motion‑capture products on the market.

Small‑Space Setup, Boundless Virtual Worlds

In terms of tracking precision, Prometheus features 1.3‑megapixel sensors, 4K distortion‑corrected lenses and image‑processing accuracy down to 0.001 pixels, delivering Hollywood‑caliber motion‑capture quality well‑suited for mid‑tier animation creation and virtual‑human live streaming.

In terms of pricing, its ten‑thousand‑yuan‑level price tag is unprecedented in the industry. Targeted at individual creators and lightweight teams, it brings high‑performance optical motion‑capture capabilities to a far‑broader user base.

In terms of application scenarios, Prometheus focuses on virtual‑live streaming and animation production. Two self‑developed professional software utilities streamline workflows, consolidate production resources and improve working efficiency. Cinderella, its dedicated virtual‑streaming software, enables one‑click live‑stream launches with built‑in scenes and avatar templates, lowering the technical threshold for virtual‑broadcast beginners.

The Prometheus system supports dual‑performer motion capture. Its robust occlusion‑resistance technology reliably records high‑intensity movements including running, jumping, hugging and martial‑arts choreography, alongside human‑prop interaction — ideal for animation creation and interactive virtual broadcasts.
