Bridging real human movement with digital technology
MIT.nano Immersion Lab is collaborating with Emerson College students to enhance their understanding of virtual production in filmmaking. Students utilize motion-capture technology to create virtual characters, bridging real human movement with digital technology. This partnership aims to provide students with access to advanced filmmaking tools that are typically unavailable to them.
- ▪Emerson College students use the MIT.nano Immersion Lab to create virtual productions with motion-capture technology.
- ▪The lab features a 28-camera OptiTrack system that allows students to see their character movements in real time.
- ▪The collaboration aims to elevate students' filmmaking experiences by providing access to high-end production technology.
