dc.description.abstractMotion capture has become a major player in the film and animation industry. Mimicking natural and subtle movements of humans and animals has made animation a lot more believable and engaging. This paper presents a low-cost design of a motion capture unit based on the ESP32 and a 9-DOF inertial sensor Bno055. A calibration method based on a standing posture is used. The sensors data are retrieved via the serial port of the Arduino IDE and sent to Blender, a 3D program, to display real-time motion. If a believable performance can be achieved with low-cost inertial sensors, then the overall cost of existing motion capture technology can be reduced.
