The NYU movement group is a motion capture lab and research group dedicated to the analysis and animation of all forms of human movement.  It is housed at NYU's Courant Institute. Many projects are at the boundary between computer science, dance, performance art, animation, medical research, and other uses of motion capture technology.  It is mainly funded by grants from NYU, the National Science Foundation, Office of Naval Research, and Sloan Foundation.

Highlights

The Movement Group conducts reasearch with Peggy Hackney on the NSF Laban Capture Project. Our latest results will appear at the Neural Information Processing Conference in December 2006 (click here). A general article appeared in the New York Times.

The Movement Group is featured in the April 2nd issue of Business Week. The article focuses on recent developments in motion capture technology, including a new NYU project on body-language and bio-metrics and an online interview with Chris Bregler discussing several of the group's ongoing projects. Note that our NYU mocap suit graces the magazine's cover!

The Movement Group, along with a team of collaborators and friends, unveiled what may very well be the world's largest-scale video game for large audiences using motion capture technology. "Squidball" was presented at the SIGGRAPH 2004 Electronic Theater in Los Angeles. The 'game experiment' was a unique and amazing experience. click here for more
