Patent: VR Motion Capture

US 10,657,656 B2: Virtual Generation of Labeled Motion Data.

This is a patent I worked on with my friend and colleague at IBM Marco Cavallo. Marco is OBSESSED with VR and cool visualizations and loves to invent things that make use of these technologies. This patent we wrote describes a way to scramble input from a Kinetic to create a bunch of labeled motion data for variations on different kinds of behavior: waving, dancing etc. This is helpful for machine learning, and just for calibrating VR systems to help them better understand the weird movements that people sometimes do.
