Motion Capture Session Player v0.1

To help you visualize the captured session and get intuition of what the data looks like, I have build this motion capture session player in Unity.

Attached folder next to this readme file is a Unity Engine project. The following tutorial should help you setup the necessary environment in order to use the motion capture session player.

If you have any problem or question, please feel free to email me at [email protected].
