Affordable Motion Capture at Home — Blue Bubble Bursting Pins

Technology has made things more convenient and affordable with fancy devices that keep coming out into the market that are more mobile than models from previous years. Motion capture is now possible in your living room with just a few hundred dollars. That still might be high for some, but if you compare motion capture a couple of decades ago it will really put things into perspective. And cost cannot beat a setup that can fit in your living room, the convenience is just too good to turn down.

Cost

A very basic motion capture setup requires a depth camera, a PC, and software that is compatible with the respective camera. This might come as a surprise, but the most costly part would probably be the software if you want production level quality out of the box. If you are ok with decent quality then the camera may cost the most for your setup.
