Expert Views:
Japan’s 3D motion capture market is set to see pretty substantial growth in the next years, largely because more people want immersive digital content and the real-time animation tech keeps improving. Also, VR, and AR platforms are being adopted more and more, so demand keeps climbing. In Japan itself, more spending for game production is helping, and that same momentum is showing up in virtual production studios too, plus in healthcare rehabilitation systems, and even with AI based motion tracking solutions. On top of all that, the industry is still pushing forward with markerless motion capture and real-time simulation platforms, so market players in Japan should find plenty of opportunities to expand.
