Creating 3D printed ‘motion sculptures’ from 2D videos

The new system uses an algorithm that can take D videos and turn them into 3D printed ‘motion sculptures’ that show how a human body moves through space. In addition to being an intriguing aesthetic visualization of shape and time, the team envisions that their ‘MoSculp’ system could enable a much more detailed study of motion for professional athletes, dancers, or anyone who wants to improve their physical skills.
