In their own words
Move AI
Move AI describes its products as markerless motion-capture systems that use AI to create motion data. Move One is an iPhone app that turns single-camera video into 3D animation. Its free plan provides 30 credits once, which do not expire, for videos up to 30 seconds. Starter costs $18 a month, billed at $18/month plus VAT, and includes 60 credits per month for videos up to 60 seconds. Other listed tiers are Standard at $48 a month, Plus at $225 a month, and Advanced at $490 a month. Genesis processes motion data on premises through a desktop application using Nvidia GPUs. It requires one Nvidia GPU and 6–12 Z CAM cameras and lenses; listed capture capacity is 1–8 people in volumes of 4 × 4 meters or 20 × 20 meters. Genesis can process RGB or grayscale feeds from many existing Vicon or OptiTrack systems and integrates with Peel Capture for camera control, start and stop commands, file naming, and project management. Output formats include FBX, BVH, GLB, USDZ, Blender, C3D, JSON, and MP4 previews. Move AI says it does not actively try to identify people in video, motion data, or output files.
Vicon Shogun
Vicon Shōgun is motion capture software for visual effects, virtual production and game development. The Windows suite includes Shōgun Live for real-time optical capture, Shōgun Markerless for machine-learning full-body tracking and Shōgun Post for cleanup and post-production. Live supports finger solving and direct retargeting and streaming to game engines. Markerless can capture unmarked performers alongside marked props. Post provides automatic gap filling, a gap list, character retargeting, Auto-Skeleton and Python or HSL scripting. Shōgun also tracks film and virtual cameras, calibrates SDI cameras and supports live 3D overlays for AR/XR workflows. Vicon lists streaming to game engines, Epic MetaHuman support, an Unreal Engine Live Link plugin and a MotionBuilder plugin. Post supports USD and TRC, while retargeting exports character FBX. Release 1.21 supports 64-bit Windows 10 and 11; Linux and macOS are unsupported. Licensing is standalone or network.
