Add Realistic Hand Motions to Body Mocap

Most professional motion capture systems can capture perfect body movement, however hand animation is always a separate challenging task. Now adding delicate hand animation is affordably streamlined with the Leap Motion Controller.

Enhance Communication with Hand Gestures

People use lots of hand gestures when talking. Adding appropriate hand and finger movement can instantly upgrade your talking animation with enhanced motions to convey the performance.

Animate with Detailed Hand Performance

Grab a bottle, open the lid and have a drink. Even such a simple movement already causes animators a sleepless night. With the Leap Motion Controller, playing a musical instrument is just few moments of performance and motion layer tweaks.

Motion Live's Special Hand Capture Design

Animate from Forearms to Fingers

Motion LIVE supports 3 hand capturing options, from forearm (elbow twist and bend), to wrist rotation, all the way to detailed finger movements. More >

Desktop and Head Mount Modes

Desktop mode (sensor view upward) gives you the setup convenience, while the Head Mount VR mode (sensor view the same as your eye level) gives you best view coverage and the freedom of movement. More >   Setting Guide >

One Hand Capture

Besides using two hands for performance capture, set one hand free for mouse operation. Choose data from one hand to drive two hand animation, or use the left hand to capture the right hand animation. More >

Gesture Mirror

Quick way to switch left and right hand data. This function is useful especially when you wish the virtual character to mirror motion data from screen view. More >
