After creating a user profile with an artists precise measurements in the software, the suit can be setup for extremely accurate data capture in less than a minute.19 sensors (PCBs) that each have three components – a gyrometer, an accelerometer, and a magnetometer/compass – that are embedded in the suit at key places on the body.The system works with just one sensor for each non-bendable limb, “we experimented a lot with sensor positions, and we have found a balance of calibration accuracy and data that works really well”. “We have been able to run for a long time without drift, as long as you calibrate it away from metal, (for the magnetometer/compass), the system will run for a long time without drift (relative to the floor)”. The solver for any MoCap system is always critical, so initialisation combined with accurate sensors is key. In the end, any MoCap system needs to rebuild the motion of an interior skeletal system based on just a handful of external points on a body. Rokoko believe the real benefit of their system resides in delivering this clean, unfiltered yet stable capture, while still having a simple setup and operation.ĬEO Jakob Balslev points to their advanced body model, and the new very accurate data as the critical reasons why their system works so well in relationship to the ground plane. In other words, if the animated movement isn’t 100% accurate it’s most likely unusable, without huge amounts of keyframe effort and specialist cleanup. Suits such as this suffer from ground plane issues with drift and floating. It is also important how clean the data is, if the signal is cleaned up, subtle movement can be lost, if the data is noise then it can be unreliable. Capturing human movement in animation is a tricky task as even a small yet unnatural looking movement can completely break the illusion. Independent game developers and film studios are the company’s primary market, but much large studios have also expressed interest so animators can have a local suit for blocking out action, without needing a dedicated stage.

Rokoko believes it can empower vfx and animation creators with a suit that provides professional capture motion, but does not require professional specialists to use. It would not be uncommon to spend two or three times this price for a mobile inertia suit, and often times considerably more.
It is the mobility, ease of use and the dramatically low price that sets the system apart. The suit can be self contained in its operation, recording locally or via wifi to a local network. Each of the suits 19 sensors has a gyrometer, compass, and accelerometer.

The Smartsuit Pro incorporates the sensors in the suit fabric, which speeds up alignment and reliability. The company is aiming to shift the price point of high end MoCap as the suit is shipping for under US$2500.
The Smartsuit Pro is a new MoCap suit with sensors woven into the suit, for fast and accurate easy to obtain body motion capture. Rokoko founded in 2014, has just started shipping its new low cost, high quality MoCap suit.
