nuiCapture Animate
nuiCapture Animate is targeted towards the 3D animation and visual effects professional and enthusiast looking to collect high quality motion capture data at a low cost. Capture skeletal and facial motion data in real-time without the need of markers using Kinect sensors. From multiple sensors, you can also synchronously record depth, color, and audio data that is aligned with the motion data. Then export the motion data to popular file formats such as BVH and FBX. nuiCapture Animate also supports export of depth and color data to OpenEXR image sequences and AVI video files.
nuiCapture Analyze
nuiCapture Analyze provides all of the features included in nuiCapture Animate in addition to export of all Kinect sensor data to Matlab. This software is targeted for users who are interested in performing computational analysis on the motion, depth, color, and audio data. nuiCapture Analyze also comes with example Matlab scripts and a comprehensive help section to help you understand how to process and visualize the data.
