It was a long time coming, but Move AI launching markerless motion capture was well worth the wait. I covered Move AI during launch and was impressed with this AI motion-capture app. Eight months after its launch this smart AI tool has been developed into from an offline markerless motion capture technology and into a real-time mocap tool, and it's dominating, well… everything.

All of this has caused quite a stir within the world of TV and film. For the first time, it is possible to create real-time 3D digital experiences in virtual production, sports, gaming, retail events, broadcast TV, and more.
