Experimenting with noise in markerless motion capture

Abstract

Visual culture has embraced the visual glitch as just one of many aesthetics associated with digital media. A glitch is often associated with noise in a technological system. Some motion capture systems experience noise and glitches as they process human movement. Under normal conditions, a glitch is undesirable because it decreases the usability of the capture. This short paper and demonstration introduce our research into the non-traditional use of motion capture data for the generation of artistic animated works.
