Across nature, animals from swarming insects to herding mammals can organize into seemingly choreographed motion. Over the last two decades, scientists have discovered that these coordinated movements ...

Watch the behind-the-scenes footage of any effects-laden blockbuster film and you’ll see actors running around in checkered body suits. Capturing the motions of a human performer is the most lifelike ...

Everything looks excellent in slow motion, especially animals. They are regal, proud warriors, even if they’re domesticated cats and dogs catching a treat. When shot on high-speed film then played ...

The motion capture technology that enables the fluid movements of your favorite video game character or lets a coach assess the biomechanics of an elite athlete is incredibly powerful, but requires ...

A new study suggests that small animals like birds and flies can observe movement on a finer timescale than larger creatures. Compared to us, many of these animals are able to perceive the world ...

Virtual Reality experiments have illuminated the rhythmic glue that could keep animals moving in synchrony. Across nature, animals from swarming insects to herding mammals can organize into seemingly ...

An animal behaviour lab built inside a converted barn uses motion-capture cameras to track the movements and behaviours of entire flocks of birds or swarms of insects. The so-called SMART-BARN ...

The quest for agile quadrupedal robots is limited by handcrafted reward design in reinforcement learning. While animal motion capture provides 3D references, its cost prohibits scaling. Video learning ...
