Abstract
Optical human motion capture system can be applied in commercial use, but require expensive studio-like environments which cannot be fulfilled for daily-life use. We present a substitute system: a real-time motion capture system based on micro sensors, which is ubiquity, low-cost and able to reconstruct human motion almost in any environment in real-time. This system consists of three subsystems: a sensor subsystem, a data fusion subsystem and an animation subsystem. Experiments show that our system can reconstruct motions and render animations in real-time, and reach the accuracy of optical human motion capture system
