Kinect BVH Mocap 1.0

Kinect BVH Mocap is a Windows application that captures 3D motion data in BioVision format (.bvh) files using a Kinect sensor. This data can be imported into Credo Interactive's DanceForms 2.0 choreography and animation software. The application utilizes the OpenNI/NITE framework for user and skeleton tracking and converts 3D skeleton point positions generated by NITE to the joint angles needed for a BVH file. The BVH joint model used is compatible with the built-in figure models in DanceForms, allowing captured motion sequences to be pasted directly.

Kinect BVH Mocap is a simple Windows application that captures 3D motion data in BioVision format (.bvh) files using a Kinect sensor. These can be easily imported into Credo Interactive's DanceForms 2.0 choreography and animation software. The application uses the OpenNI/NITE framework for user and skeleton tracking and converts the 3D skeleton point positions generated by NITE to the corresponding joint angles needed for a BVH file. The BVH joint model used maps directly onto those of the built-in figure models in DanceForms, enabling captured motion sequences to be pasted straight onto the them.
