Digital production and realization for traditional dance movements based on Motion Capture Technology

Traditional dance is China's national intangible cultural heritage and is a precious cultural treasure of the Chinese nation. Motion capture technology (Mocap) is a hot research topic in the digital field in recent years, covering the digital fields of physical animation, gait analysis and biomechanics. This paper briefly explains the principle of optical motion capture technology, explores the technical characteristics of motion capture technology, analyzes the advantages of optical motion capture technology in realizing the digital production of traditional dance in combination with the current situation and problems of traditional dance, and designs a technical route for digital production of traditional dance based on motion capture technology. The route is applied to an example production to verify its effectiveness and feasibility.
