What is Move AI?
Move AI is a UK markerless motion capture company. Its flagship Genesis system turns synchronized video from 6 to 12 cameras into optical-grade 3D motion data on a local Nvidia GPU, and its Move One product captures motion from a single camera. Studios in VFX, games and entertainment use it.
Traditional optical motion capture requires suits, markers and a dedicated stage, which makes every shoot expensive and slow. Move AI replaces the markers with computer vision, so actors perform in normal clothes. Genesis moved from a web platform to a desktop app so studios keep data on premise, process takes offline and wire the system into existing stages, including Vicon or OptiTrack camera setups and Peel Capture.
Main Features
- Captures 1 to 8 people without suits or markers.
- Genesis runs on premise on a single Nvidia RTX 30, 40, 50 or A-series GPU.
- Supports capture volumes from 4 x 4m up to 20 x 20m with 6 to 12 Z cams.
- Offers full timecode support to sync with production pipelines.
- Uses checkerboard calibration for more accurate foot planting and less jitter.
- Processes feeds from existing Vicon or OptiTrack cameras in a hybrid setup.
- Integrates natively with Peel Capture for camera control and file management.
- Move One provides single-camera motion capture for lighter setups.
How to Get Started with Move AI
- Use the system configurator on move.ai to plan cameras for your volume.
- Book a demo or send a motion you want captured.
- Install the Genesis desktop app and calibrate with a checkerboard.
- Record takes and export the motion data to your animation pipeline.
Move AI Pricing
Genesis pricing is quoted by the sales team after a demo. The online configurator estimates hardware costs, listing an Nvidia GPU at about $3,000 before cameras.
Who Should Use It?
- VFX and animation studios replacing optical mocap stages.
- Game developers capturing character animation.
- Film and live entertainment productions needing fast shoots.
- Studios with Vicon or OptiTrack cameras adding markerless capture.
- Researchers analyzing human movement.
Move AI Alternatives
- DeepMotion: browser-based video to 3D animation for smaller teams
- Meshy AI: generates 3D models rather than motion data
- Kaedim: production-ready 3D models on demand
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Move AI cost?
Move AI does not list Genesis prices publicly. You book a demo and receive a quote, and the site's configurator estimates hardware such as the Nvidia GPU and Z cams separately.
Does Move AI need special suits or markers?
No. It is markerless, so actors wear normal clothes. Genesis uses 6 to 12 wired cameras and a local GPU, while Move One targets single-camera capture.
Can Move AI work with an existing mocap stage?
Yes. Genesis can process RGB or grayscale feeds from many existing Vicon or OptiTrack cameras and integrates with Peel Capture, so studios can add markerless capture without replacing hardware.
