Animation & VFX
Deliver precise, realtime motion data to streamline workflows, enhance creativity, and produce high-quality visuals.
For animators and VFX artists, this technology captures lifelike movements efficiently, reducing manual keyframing time and enabling seamless integration into digital pipelines.
Target3D’s work with Middlesex University upgraded their motion capture, VFX, and virtual production facilities, syncing them for cutting-edge creative education and studio hire opportunities.
Our installation at City of Liverpool College (pictured) also included a mocap studio to boost animation and VFX training, enhancing educational and professional outputs.
Additionally, the Aerospace Digital Visualisation Suite in South Ayrshire, equipped with XR tech, supports creative visualisation that inspires VFX innovation.
Location-Based Entertainment
Motion capture installations elevate a location-based entertainment business by delivering immersive, interactive experiences that captivate audiences and boost engagement.
This technology enables realtime tracking and dynamic content, enhancing visitor enjoyment and repeat visits.
For instance, Target3D collaborated with Clays Bar (pictured) in London to install twelve OptiTrack-based tracking systems for a virtual clay target shooting experience, blending competitive gameplay with a sleek social vibe.
Their work with the Aerospace Digital Visualisation Suite in South Ayrshire integrated XR tech for immersive entertainment applications, while the PROTO project in Gateshead features a 188m² mocap stage for diverse digital entertainment creation.
Life Sciences and Biomechanics
Motion capture installations advance life sciences and biomechanics by providing precise, realtime 3D tracking to study human movement, improve diagnostics, and enhance research outcomes.
This technology supports detailed analysis of biomechanics, aiding in rehabilitation, sports science, and medical innovation.
For example, we partnered with the University of Leicester (pictured) to equip their Biomechanics & Immersive Technology Laboratory with an OptiTrack system, enabling gait analysis and crowd dynamics research in a VR environment.
Our work with the Berkshire-based wheelchair basketball team "The Rockets" utilised mocap to optimise player performance through biomechanical insights.

One of the things we did was cast a net, to find out who was doing really good work, who are good resellers, what kit we could buy, and we very quickly realised that everything came back to Target3D.

Robotics
Motion capture provides precise, realtime 3D tracking to optimise development, testing and performance of robotic systems. This technology enhances accuracy in sensor validation, planning and autonomous navigation, helping to reduce costs and time spent in research.
Some key examples of our work in the realm of robotics include the Prorok Lab upgrade at the University of Cambridge, where we installed a 12-camera OptiTrack system to track autonomous robots in a larger volume, supporting research into multi-agent coordination.
Another example is our work with Made In Space, Inc. in Luxembourg, designing a mocap volume to simulate spacelike conditions for robotic manufacturing, pushing the boundaries of extraterrestrial production.
Additionally, the Institute for Safe Autonomy (pictured) leverages OptiTrack cameras to solve complex robotics challenges such as drone swarm tracking and coordination, creating a world-class research environment.
3D Tracking for Manufacturing
Motion capture installations optimise production processes, improve quality control and streamline automation.
This technology enables detailed tracking of tools, components, and machinery, ensuring accuracy and efficiency on the factory floor.
For example, Target3D’s work with Loughborough University utilised mocap to refine 3D-printed concrete manufacturing, ensuring precision in construction applications.
Our installation for Made In Space, Inc. in Luxembourg supported robotic manufacturing in simulated space conditions, showcasing advanced tracking for cutting-edge production.
Additionally, the Prorok Lab at the University of Cambridge benefitted from a 12 camera OptiTrack system to track autonomous robots, enhancing manufacturing research.

Simulation and Training
Simulation and training made even better with immersive, precise 3D environments to enhance skill building and scenario training.
Mocap technology creates realistic, repeatable simulations, ideal for industries requiring top tier preparation.
For example, we equipped Glava (pictured) with a motion capture system to develop advanced training simulations, improving operational readiness.
Our work with the Aerospace Digital Visualisation Suite in South Ayrshire integrated XR tech for aerospace training, while City of Liverpool College commissioned a mocap studio to boost simulation based education.
The Institute for Safe Autonomy also leveraged OptiTrack cameras for cutting-edge training environments.
