This course explores the convergence of AI-driven motion capture, animation systems, and digital human technologies. Participants will learn how real-time performance data, generative animation, and intelligent avatars are transforming film, games, education, virtual production, and immersive experiences. 

Motion Capture, Animation, & Digital Humans provides a deep, hands-on exploration of how artificial intelligence is reshaping character creation and performance-driven media. The course covers marker-based and markerless motion capture, AI-assisted animation pipelines, facial capture, speech-driven animation, digital doubles, and autonomous digital humans. Learners will examine both technical workflows and creative design considerations while addressing realism, ethics, identity, and future trends. 

Modules:

• Foundations of Motion Capture 
• AI-Assisted Animation Pipelines 
• Facial Capture & Performance Animation
• Digital Humans & Avatars 
• Ethics, Identity, & the Future of Digital Humans
• Real-Time Performance & Virtual Production
• AI-Driven Character Behavior & Autonomous Animation
• Voice, Speech, and Multimodal Performance
• Digital Human Design for UX, XR, and Interactive Media
• Final Exam
