We’re extremely proud to have worked together with Kite & Lightning to bring home the coveted “Best in Show” trophy at Real Time Live!
The ever-inventive Cory Strassburger – co-founder and creative director of creative studio Kite & Lightning – took to the stage fully kitted out in an Xsens MVN suit for the session Democratising Mocap: Real-Time Full Performance Motion Capture with an iPhone X, Xsens, IKINEMA, and Unreal Engine.

In the session, Cory used a character from Kite & Lightning's upcoming VR battle royale game, Bebylon, to reveal how his DIY motion capture set-up can bring characters to life in a simple and streamlined way.
Using four pieces of off-the-shelf technology – including an iPhone X attached to a bike helmet, IKINEMA's LiveAction, Epic Game's Unreal Engine, and, of course, Xsens MVN technology – Cory revealed a live, portable motion capture solution that requires no markers and is limited only by available Wi-Fi.
Cory's presentation and technology was ultimately awarded the Real-Time Live! trophy, standing as the most impressive of the technology showcased at an event already bursting with impressive imagination and innovation!
We've like to extend a huge thanks to all involved in this presentation, especially Epic Games' Unreal Engine and IKINEMA for their excellent LiveAction retargeting technology.
