Chordata Motion, the First Open-Source Motion Capture Kit

Chordata Motion is the first open-source motion capture system 🚀 NOW LIVE ON KICKSTARTER! 🚀 Our goal is to take the world of motion capture to the universe of open and DIY technologies. With this in mind, we designed a system that is flexible enough to be adapted to the needs of any project that may require the capture of human movement in fields as vast as Game Design, Animation, Digital Arts, Electronic Music, Gait analysis or Physical Therapy.

The origin of Chordata was a basic need. Bruno, our Tech Lead, wanted a way to register dance moves for a performance piece, but none of the tools available matched his needs. A lot has happened since then and now the system has been released as a BETA version. Chordata Motion is evolving and we’re now offering the possibility to order your motion capture kits through a Kickstarter campaign. Make sure to check it out and order now so that you can get an advantage on those rewards that we will only be able to offer in limited units, such as the Early Bird Full Motion or the Full Motion Plug & play.

Our team is composed of tech and communication enthusiasts who are eager to collaborate under the umbrella of the open-source ecosystem. The main intention behind Chordata Motion is building up a community that supports and sustains the possibility of capturing movement with open technologies. Therefore, we’ll welcome onboard anyone that might enjoy sharing his knowledge or just have some questions about this system, or motion capture in general. Take a look at our forum, and join the discussion!

Our main intention is not just to deliver a software and hardware kit, but to build a community of people that want to share their love for movement computing.
