It’s Fast. So Very, Very Fast.
Glycon takes about 5 seconds to open, depending on your system. Once it’s on, you’re literally a click away from recording motion capture. |
No Suit Required Nothing to keep clean, no balls to lose, nothing to worry about ripping. You just use your headset and hand controllers. That means you can even record motion capture in your favorite undies. |
Hand Gestures Unlike most mocap solutions, Glycon animations have hand gestures. Currently we support 4 gestures: point, open hand, pinch, and making a fist. We have 21 gestures in the hopper though, and will be supporting all of them soon! |

Requires Very Little Room
It uses your existing VR boundaries. This means you can just get to work recording mocap instead of needing a separate mocap area. It also means you can record new mocap while you’re sitting at your desk! |
Exports Industry Standard FBX Glycon exports text based FBX files. We go to great lengths to make sure our files are compatible with the final platform you’ll be using. |
Room Scale Tracking If you have a third Oculus camera or an HTC Vive, you can now freely move around your scene, and your location will also be added to the FBX file, making it easy to record larger scale animations. |
Roadmap – What fun is the future if it’s not real weird? Here’s where we’d like to take Glycon in the coming weeks…
Virtual Sets – Implemented in Build 10 – these let you build your own sets using proxy objects, then export them for a perfect match to your recordings.
Teleprompter – So you can remember what it is you were going to say, or what your lines were, when you have your headset on.
Multiple Vive Trackers – Implemented in Build 9
Support for Valve Knuckles – Implemented in Build 11
Out of Box support for Maya – Implemented in Build 11
Out of Box support for Motion Builder – Implemented in Build 11
Out of Box support for Blender – Implemented in Build 11
Out of Box support for iClone – In Progress
Out of Box support for UE4 – In Progress
Out of Box support for Cinema4D – In Progress
Out of Box support for Modo – Implemented in Build 11
Props – Suitcases, guns, poles, swords, knives, turkey legs, joysticks, and pretty much anything else people suggest. These will be items you can pick up and interact with, in the virtual world.
Import Your own sets – Import any OBJ file as your own set.
More hand gestures – Currently we support 4 hand gestures. We have a library of 21 though. We’ll be including them as soon as we have a UI that will let you assign them.
Audio Recording And Tracking – Obviously you’d like some music to go with that fancy dancin’. Or maybe you’d like to record your speech along with your mocap. Well, we can do that. We will do that. We’ll even throw in an extra bone in the FBX head that will go along with that audio, so you can quickly and effortlessly animate skeletons or other characters like that.

This gets you the current Early Access version and all future updates for the 1.x development cycle. Since we aren’t even at 1.0 yet, buckle up for a long ride. Here’s an example output file from December 6th. |

If you’re wondering what kind of quality you can expect, here are some unaltered FBX files I created during livestream sessions: Example
If you use Oculus Medium and you export an FBX file with vertex colors, you can use this shader in Unity to see them!
