Motion capture (mo-cap) is a technology used in film, video games, and animation to record the movement of actors using sensors, markers, or camera arrays, then translate that data onto digital character models. It's used by animators and visual effects artists to create realistic character movement, as seen in films like Avatar and games like those from Naughty Dog.
