Webcam motion capture in the browser
You can do motion capture with a webcam right in the browser: in KinemIQ Studio turn on Live camera, choose the webcam (or your phone through a QR code) and the 3D character copies you live. Press Record and the take becomes an animation you can edit and export.

How to set it up
- Open the Studio and press 📱 Live camera.
- Pick Webcam, or scan the QR code with your phone – no app to install.
- Step back so your whole body is in the picture.
- Press Record; when you stop, the take is processed as a whole video (more exact than the live preview) and added to the timeline.
Tips
- Light from the front, plain background, fitted clothes.
- A phone on a stand often sees more of the room than a laptop webcam.

Can I use my phone instead of a webcam?

What can I export?
FBX, GLB / glTF or BVH, root motion or in place.
