关于工作坊
为期两天的工作坊将探讨专业的光学动态捕捉系统OptiTrack在虚拟现实作品中的应用。OptiTrack是新时线媒体艺术中心春季“研究与创作学术奖金”主题的技术核心。该系统是行业公认的用于分析人体运动的技术平台，同时亦被广泛应用于动画（CGI）、游戏和医学成像等领域。OptiTrack也是发开实时定位检测器和基于运动应用程序的热门工具。参与者将通过工作坊学习到OptiTrack动态捕捉系统的基础知识和使用方法，包括机器追踪、动作捕捉和环境分析。
在CAC春季“研究与创作学术奖金”获奖艺术家安德烈·波列斯拉夫斯基（Andrej Boleslavsky）的带领下，参与者将在工作坊的实际操作环节对OptiTrack系统进行实验。他们将学习该系统的设置和校准，以及如何在现实生活中的场景中使用该系统的功能。此外，参与者将有机会比较OptiTrack与其他替代性系统。在工作坊的结尾，参与者将体验波列斯拉夫斯基的奖学金项目“捉迷藏”（Hide & Seek）的早期雏形。

About the Workshop
The two-day workshop explores the professional optical motion tracking system OptiTrack, which is also the technology core for CAC spring Research and Creation Fellowship. This system is the industry accepted platform for analyzing human motion, recording and use in CGI, as well as for gaming and medical imaging. It is also a popular tool for developing real-time location detector and motion based applications. The workshop will bring the participants the basic knowledge and skills of utilizing OptiTrack motion tracking system on robotics tracking, as well as motion and environment capturing.
Led by CAC fellowship artist Andrej Boleslavsky, participants will experiment with the system of OptiTrack, they will learn how to setup and calibrate it and how use the functionalities of the system in a real-life scenarios in a hands-on part of the workshop. Moreover, participants will have a chance to compare the OptiTrack with alternative systems. By the end of the workshop, participants will experience the early prototype of Boleslavsky’s fellowship proposal ZhuoMiCang (Hide & Seek).
