Potential marketing applications for 3D motion capture technology include the creation of high-quality live-action experiences for sports and entertainment fans; new types of “deep content” Web search experiences; and in-store body-language kiosk applications.

The NYU Movement Lab will create a state-of-the-art 3D motion capture lab in the Digitas New York office, allowing the agency access to leading-edge technologies.
