What is EqualMotion – Accessible Motion Capture for the Creative Industries?
The EqualMotion project tackles a critical barrier in creative industries: inaccessible motion capture technology. Existing solutions often fall short, excluding diverse body types and limiting broad participation in the creative arts. This project aims to bridge this gap, developing inclusive motion capture that empowers everyone to express themselves creatively. By developing innovative motion capture solutions, the project not only fuels business growth but also elevates the UK’s standing as a global creative industries leader. It promises to foster job creation, encourage knowledge sharing, and contribute to the development of cutting-edge immersive experiences.
