...ShapeWrap II is a long-range motion capture system?
ShapeWrap II provides the essentials of motion capture training without the overhead and constraint of special stages, lighting, or specialized operators. At the same time, it is an advanced instrument that brings out the creativity of students and faculty.
ShapeWrap II includes a comprehensive, educator created, 11-week curriculum for teaching mocap!
...ShapeWrap
II motion capture system / motion capture suit can be worn over street
clothes or included spandex?
ShapeWrap II is delivered ready to be worn
over street clothes (preferably short pants and a t-shirt) or included
customized spandex pants and a t-shirt. This is just one of the many features
that make ShapeWrap II the practical motion capture system for teaching
mocap in the classroom.
Include optional shoulder tracking with your ShapeWrap II system for seamless capture of body movement with shoulders.
The ShapeWrap II system easily adjusts to fit a variety of different shapes and sizes. From short to tall and small to larger sized individuals, ShapeWrap's tapes and attachment components all easily adjust to ensure a proper fit.
The ShapeTapes that come with ShapeWrap can be used as 6DOF input devices for desktop use to create, edit and animate in a growing list of 3D design and animation software packages.ShapeTape is a 6DOF multi-point sensor in tape form that can be worn, handheld, and attached to or built into objects to measure shape and changing shapes. ShapeTape knows it’s own shape and position at all times connect it to a PC to manipulate any animate-able parameter in a 3D software package via Meausrand's ShapeAnimator plug-in.
Directors and animators bring your ideas and concepts to life with ShapeWrap II. Create 3D storyboards, pre-visualizations, and proofs of concept. ShapeWrap II goes on quickly and easily to capture real-time motion capture anywhere and anytime.
ShapeWrap II is an affordable and practical means to capture data for your game concepts and storyboards, in game moves, promotional content (trailers), and cinematics. Plus with every ShapeWrap II system you get the power of 4 ShapeAnimators™.
Motion Capture during Blue / Green Screen - In blue/green screening ShapeWrap saves time and money, speeding up and increasing the ease of CG interaction for character re-targeting and shadow integration. Where CG characters need to interact with live actors, ShapeWrap II can be worn under blue or green clothing. ShapeWrap can also be worn under street clothing for use in capturing a performer’s motion and poses during actual shooting.
o See example
ShapeWrap II packs into its own protective carrying case. You can easily pack it up and carry it home, to any classroom, to a business presentation, etcetera. Wirelessly connect ShapeWrap II to a desktop or laptop computer and you’re ready to collect data.
ShapeWrap II can be used in environments not suitable for other motion capture systems/technologies. ShapeWrap II is ideal for motion capture in a number of situations including:
- an actor in a studio
- a student in a classroom
- a pilot flying a plane (simulations and actual)
- a cross country skier skiing a complete course
- a downhill skier skiing down a mountain
- a soldier in the field
The system’s flexible and wearable ShapeTapes know their own shape and relative position for their full length. The tapes move with the body directly translating moves into 3D data. With ShapeWrap II no markers/sensors are blocked. Every move is recorded!
ShapeWrap II is more than just affordable and portable,
it's full body motion capture system that holds up to student use. ShapeWrap
adjusts to fit different shapes and sizes and works in any classroom.
With every ShapeWrap II system you get multiple mini motion capture tools
(5 ShapeTapes with ShapeAnimator) that can be used independently to teach
the concepts of motion capture.

ShapeWrap
II has an impressive battery life of 3 hours per battery under normal
conditions, and each system is delivered with 3 batteries and a hot-swap
fixture. When a battery finally runs down, you can hot-swap with a new
battery without shutting down and re-starting. Just plug in the fresh
battery to the second connector on the hot-swap fixture, and unplug the
run-down battery and keep capturing data! This also works using the wall-mount
power supply instead of a fresh battery.
The
arm tapes that make up the ShapeWrap II system are flexible enough to
capture wrist flexion/extension with partial abduction/adduction, and
movement of one finger.
As mentioned above the default ShapeWrap II system is flexible enough to capture partial hand movement. Include optional ShapeHand™ motion capture to get full finger and thumb movement with wrist flexion/extension and adduction/abduction.
ShapeHand™ is a wireless hand capture system that works with or separate from ShapeWrap II.
ShapeWrap II operates offline and online (real-time) and outputs both marker (C3D) and skeletal data (BVH). The ShapeWrap II system allows schools to train students in the data formats created by high-end optical, magnetic and mechanical systems.
