Abstract

We present a real-time online animation and lip syncing solution based on personal motion sensing for use in entertainment and theme park applications. Our solution streams real-time motion capture based animation, video and voice data over the Internet using UDP. Motion capture data is streamed from the eMove mocap suit over the Internet into a client application, which provides a lip synced 3D animated character or puppet. Applications include online digital puppeteering and games where the character is animated in real time.
