In the high-speed information age of the 21st century, the rapid development of digital technology has led to more and more digital people entering thousands of households and coming to us. Do you know any digital people? Do you have a favorite digital person? Today we are going to explore a mysterious technology behind digital humans - motion capture. With it, digital talents can be more vivid and lifelike, making you feel like you are in a trance for a moment: "Ah!? This is too much like a real person, isn't it?"

Motion capture technology uses motion capture devices to first capture and collect the movements of motion capture actors, that is, real people, including full body motion capture - body movements, hand motion capture - finger movements, and facial motion capture - facial expressions. The information collected by motion capture devices is motion capture data, which can be used to drive digital people to engage in various activities like real people. Most of the virtual anchors we see in live broadcasts are driven in real time by motion capture devices. We can also collect a lot of human body data to form a motion capture database, combined with AI technology, allowing digital humans to learn and create AI digital humans.

I have also compiled the process of capturing digital humans: 

1. Confirm the digital human model 

There are many sources of digital human models, including those that use their favorite animal characters, those that use company logos, and those that use their own anime characters to create digital humans. 

2. Human motion capture 

Based on the digital character image, find the motion capture actors and use motion capture devices to perform real motion capture. The motion capture actors need to perform various performances according to the desired effects of the digital character image.

3. Processing of motion capture data 

In motion capture software, optimize and adjust the collected motion capture data to make various movements smoother and more natural. 

4. Drive digital humans 

If the motion capture data is fed into the digital human model, the digital human will immediately become full of vitality and leap onto paper.
