Case Study: OnPoint Studios achieves real-time immersive motion capture with StretchSense gloves

OnPoint Studios - Customer Case Study

OnPoint Studios, an innovator in animation and virtual production, sought to create real-time, fully immersive experiences for live and pre-recorded shows. Their challenge was to capture the complete range of human movement, including highly expressive and believable hand motions, which are critical for bridging the uncanny valley and meeting client expectations. To achieve this, they integrated StretchSense's motion capture gloves into their sophisticated workflow.

The solution implemented by StretchSense provided OnPoint with lifelike hand data that fed directly into their real-time pipeline alongside body and facial animation. This integration was a straightforward boost to their capabilities, elevating the quality of their hand capture to a world-class level. The results were significant, with OnPoint's Lead Technical Producer noting that having real-time finger animation made them more likely to win jobs. After three years of using StretchSense gloves, OnPoint continues to leverage this technology to revolutionize animation and produce groundbreaking work like "Cargo," the world’s first real-time live theatrical performance.
