Mocap Repairs: Making Mocap More Sustainable

Fix it, don't ditch it...

Repair, recycle and reuse

Worn markers, loose or missing velcro, broken zips, loose stitching...we've all been there. It takes a lot of upkeep and maintenance to keep your supplies in tiptop shape after a mocap session. With the rising cost of consumables ever present, throwing old items away is no longer an option.

Motion capture apparel and consumables are a integral part to running an efficient mocap stage. Functionality is crucial to the quality of data capture.
