Summary
Explains that 'markerless' motion capture still uses markers but estimates them via webcam instead of expensive equipment, enabling multi-person, scale-aware capture.

The term “markerless” gets thrown around a lot in motion capture. What does it mean? Well…surprise! There are still markers (we put them on you instead of you getting in a suit)
When we capture motion from your videos, we still need to estimate important landmarks, we’ve just built a way to do it on a web camera instead of a $100k mocap stage.
Multi person + scale aware with extremely good camera pose estimation.
Try it out and let me know what you think

LIMMT: Less is More for Motion Tracking
This paper introduces LIMMT, a data-centric study showing that training with high-quality, minimal subsets of motion data (under 3% of AMASS) outperforms using the full dataset for physics-based humanoid motion tracking, defining motion data quality through physics feasibility, diversity, and complexity.
