Starry Arts 3D Motion Capture App
After more then 5 years of curriculum development, we have cemented our learning programs on developing creative thinking and incorporating STEAM concepts into our lessons. Our new AI Motion-Capture education app will soon be launched in MAY 2022.
Through the collaboration with app developers and software engineers, Starry Arts has created an AI educational assistant application available on iOS and Android products. “ARTIBOT” aims to transform the younger generations’ attachment to their technology from being something fun and mindless to something fun, mindful and educational. The underlying premise of the app is a 3D motion capture camera where users can take photos of their artworks and create animated characters and scenes.
The application is created with the education of children in mind as it aims to distance children from constant screen-time and entertainment. It is used by the children from a distance and helps children to film shows, make presentations and create content through an avatar that they control with their motions thanks to the application’s AI motion capture software.
Students can use a 3D motion capture app to create animated characters and scenes, where their cartoon character will showcase their artistic creations through video, while also telling a story to inspire and educate others.
This app will be available only to children, educators and parents and it will be free for students who enrol in Starry Arts courses.
