“Motion capture technology” refers to the use of optical sensing equipment to record the dancer’s movement trajectory during dance and then convert this movement trajectory into applicable data information in animation software. In the 3D animation software, the corresponding dancer model can be constructed, and the matching costumes can also be designed. After combining it with the motion capture data, animation and dance data can be generated. In this way, virtual simulation software can create some virtual visualization scenes and present more diverse and complex demonstration effects. This article focuses on three aspects: “an overview of the connotation of motion capture technology,” “design of virtual dance visualization scene based on motion capture technology,” and “application of virtual dance visualization scene based on motion capture technology.”
