Motion Transfer vs Mapping & Matching Full-Body Gestures To Avatar Movements

Highspeed development of low-cost MOCAP solutions allows end-users of XR/VR applications to provide relatively acceptable transfer of initial user's motions to avatar motions. But in many such application there is big gap between user's and avatar's movements what is due to physical limitations for the user - both in terms of his own limited space (mapping limitation), and in terms of the limited physical ability to reproduce the movements provided in the avatar animation (matching limitation). PAO-XR technology overcomes both limitations by establishing a personalized association between the user's movements and the avatar's movement types. Our video clearly shows the achievement of both effects. The mapping effect is demonstrated by establishing a correspondence between running in the user's place and the avatar's sweeping run in virtual space. The matching effect is most clearly visible in the example of a downward jump, which cannot be reproduced by the user in his physical space but is successfully performed by the avatar.
