Vicon Motion Capture Case Study : Matt Workman is Going Live with MetaHumans

Matt Workman is at the forefront of the VTuber trend, demonstrating how, with minimal previous experience, an individual streamer or DIY indie studio can produce realtime 3D content using a Vicon setup. Workman’s background is in developing 3D characters and environments in Unreal Engine. His app, Cine Tracer, is a real-time cinematography simulation used by filmmakers for storyboarding, and he’s currently creating clothing for Epic’s metahumans – the most advanced digital humans currently in the public sphere. That work wasn’t the main driver for his interest in optical capture, though. “The original interest with the Vicon system was VTubers,” says Workman. “The biggest VTubers now are mostly 2D. They’re live, they’re producing content 24/7, they’re getting the highest engagement on YouTube and some of the highest on TikTok. They’re massive. Some of them want to move into 3D, but it has to all be live. But there’s this whole learning process and naturally they start with what is easily accessible.” Often that means using inertial capture or the tracking hardware that comes with commercial virtual reality systems. “I was talking to a bunch of VTubers, and some of the higher-end ones were using inertial suits and whatnot, but the feeling was that for live streaming, inertial is a little unreliable.” Between complications with battery life, connectivity problems and accuracy issues, many creators are in need of a more robust and reliable solution. “So my thought was, what if you gave a high quality optical system to an indie VTuber?” says Workman. “How about matching high fidelity motion with one of Epic Games’s high fidelity metahumans?” Read the full case study: https://www.vicon.com/resources/case-...
