The phenomenal box‑office hit of 2.6 billion yuan has turned Chinese hard‑sci‑fi blockbuster The Wandering Earth 2 into an ongoing box‑office legend. A host of sci‑fi concepts including the space elevator, quantum computer, planetary engine and digital life are brought to vivid, immersive life with the support of heavy‑industry hardware and CG visual‑effects.

MoreVFX undertook visual‑effects production for The Wandering Earth 2, delivering over 800 VFX shots. Years of industrial expertise ensured the film’s spectacular visual output. As a technical partner of MoreVFX, CHINGMU Vision supplied self‑developed optical motion‑capture systems and technical support. Moving forward, CHINGMU will keep pursuing technological innovation and join hands with partners to fuel the growth of China’s film industry.

Beyond supporting grand hard‑sci‑fi productions, motion‑capture technology also lends its power to heart‑warming family comedies. CHINGMU Vision contributed to the Spring‑Festival‑release movie Looking Up with Joy, showcasing the tender side of metaverse technology.

In the short story Grandpa’s Adventure in the Metaverse, the metaverse team played by Dylan Wang and Weiwei uses digital‑human, body‑ and facial‑capture technology to “resurrect” Grandma inside the metaverse. This fulfils Grandpa, portrayed by Luo Jingmin, and grants him a long‑awaited reunion with his late wife.

The film broadens public understanding of the metaverse. Far more than a space for entertainment and socialising, the metaverse is a parallel multi‑dimensional realm that transcends the boundary of life and death. Its vision of digital life echoes the core theme of The Wandering Earth 2. Boosted by the metaverse boom, digital humans have become an increasingly mature technology. With continuous technical iteration, virtual‑avatar creation is now accessible to ordinary users.

In the story, the 84‑year‑old grandpa learns to build a digital‑human avatar by himself, while his grandson brings Grandma’s virtual figure to life using CHINGMU MC‑Series motion‑capture system. Just as Coco offers a unique interpretation of death, the time‑defying virtual‑real interaction depicted in Looking Up with Joy opens up new perspectives on life and loss.

Such creative visions rest upon solid hardware‑and‑software capabilities. Driven by in‑house R&D, CHINGMU delivers full‑stack digital‑human solutions, alongside enterprise‑grade and consumer‑grade motion‑capture systems tailored for diverse scenarios.

As a technology pioneer, CHINGMU will continue to advance a warm‑hearted, human‑friendly vision of digital life and empower the tender‑toned metaverse.
