This document will be the closing capture statement of the Concept Development Phase. Requires customer approval.
Build a cheaper solution to the overly expensive MoCap systems. Also, this sysstem should have no limits to space considerations.
MoCap for everyone.
This is to identify what the underlying message will be and how it will be conveyed to the target market.
Budding film makers.
Any hardware that can run comercial 3d software.
4 weeks with the proper motivation minus shipping time for the hardware.

Most systems on the market cost more than $25,000 and are still limited by the space it is setup in. The only other cheap alternative is to use Wii Motes but that is not scalable to capturing a full skeleton.
IPI Systems has a mocap system that uses cameras and it only costs $995.
I may become un interested and stop working on it or not have the money to buy all the hardware.
Full MoCap system for under $2500.
