Why does PhaseSpace use LEDs for markers?
PhaseSpace evaluated active and inactive marker tracking during system design. PhaseSpace implemented an active LED marker system because active markers provide higher quality motion capture data, enable real-time visualizations and maximize configuration options. Active LED markers enable the processor to quickly resolve occlusions resulting in extremely clean motion capture data. Clean data saves you money by reducing post processing time and shortening your production pipeline. The ability to see a subject’s motion mapped to a character in real-time, provides immediate visual feedback and allows the director to specify additional takes and eliminate costly re-capture sessions. Finally, since each LED marker has a unique ID, you are easily able to configure marker capture scenarios for any combination of single or multiple subjects, normal or high speed motion and object interaction.
