From June 15 to 16, 2023, the 2023 Shanghai International Virtual‑Production Summit & Digital‑Human Developer Conference was held at Shanghai Shendi Culture Center. Serving as a core platform to boost the application of digital‑content production technologies and cross‑industry collaboration in China, the conference is committed to accelerating the growth of China’s digital‑content industry and meta‑economy. It meets the multi‑dimensional demands of content creators and suppliers for technological innovation and integration, and offers all industry participants access to meta‑value‑added solutions and insights into cutting‑edge technological trends. CHINGMU was invited to the exhibition and showcased Prometheus, its full‑set lightweight self‑developed optical motion‑capture system.

CHINGMU brought its in‑house lightweight optical motion‑capture system and the newly‑launched markerless motion‑capture solution to the show, delivering live demonstrations of digital‑human driving, holographic‑cabin interaction and markerless motion capture.
