Inertial Motion Capture for everyone
Bewegungsfelder is a mobile & customizable inertial motion capture system for skeletal animation. It consists of C#/WPF Application to capture and record skeletal animations and standalone IMU sensor modules based on the ESP8266 Wifi SoC.
- Flexible skeleton definition.
- Live 3D visualisation of sensors and skeleton pose.
- Recording/Playback of animations.
- BVH export & import.
- UDP Server accepts incoming sensor values.
- Smartphones as sensors (POC done).
- Improve timing issues/add proper interpolation.
- Support intermediate joint/smoothin using IK.
- Docs.
Prototype using websockets in develop branch:
- Start Bewegungsfelder.exe
- Make sure Smartphone can connect to your PC (i.e. same wifi network)
- On Smartphone open http://[your-local-ip]:8080
- Mocap!
Sensor fusion is done on the MPU6050 by the InvenSense DMP Firmware.
The ESP8266 reads values from the MPU6050 motion sensors using I2C.
The official Esspressif ESP8266 non-os SDK is used. For a guide on how to setup the toolchain with Eclipse, check this out: http://www.esp8266.com/viewtopic.php?t=820
