Ensure that the capturing PC is also connected to this switch. * **Connection Details**: For detailed instructions on proper camera connection, refer to the respective guides for [OAK W PoE](../../../sections/equipment/markerless/cameras/luxonis_oakdw_poe) cameras. ### Step 2: Camera Placement * **Setup Area**: It is recommended to use a 6m by 6m free space for the camera setup. Arrange 6 cameras in a circular shape, all looking towards the center of the capturing space. This arrangement optimizes the coverage and results in an actual performance space of 4m x 4m. * **Placement Details**: Details regarding the recommended camera placement are depicted in the figure below. However, it is important to mention that the setup can and should be adapted based on the needs of each use case. A 6m by 6m setup or strict camera placement is not mandatory. The key requirement is that all cameras must clearly capture the actor’s full body during motion capture. For custom or non-standard installations, please [contact us](https://moverse.ai/contactus.html) for guidance and support. ### Step 3: Validate Camera Placement * **Performance Check**: To validate the placement, have a subject move in the space. Optimal placement is indicated when the subject is clearly visible simultaneously across the different camera views. The best outcome is achieved when all cameras can see the subject at the same time. More details can be found in [the respective section](../studio/calibration#1-2-adjust-camera-placement). ### Step 4: Calibration * **Calibration Process**: After ensuring the cameras are properly placed, proceed with calibrating the system. Calibration is crucial for accurate motion capture. * **Calibration Guide**: More details about the calibration process can be found [here](../studio/calibration). ### Step 5: Initialize Capture and Start Tracking * **Initialize Capture**: With the cameras set up and calibrated, the subject can enter the capturing space and you are ready to initialize capture by clicking the **Body Calibration** icon: * **Start Tracking**: After showing the body in the 3D viewer and the subject is in A-pose at the middle of the capturing space, you can start tracking by clicking the **Motion Tracking** icon: ### Step 6: Stream or Reprocess MoCap data * Once the setup is complete, you are ready to [stream the data live](../studio/streaming) or [record performances](../studio/recording). Recorded data can be reprocessed on the cloud for enhanced accuracy and quality. Ensure that each step is carefully followed to maximize the system's capabilities. # Calibration Source: https://docs.moverse.ai/sections/studio/calibration Proper calibration is essential for achieving accurate results in Moverse Studio. The calibration process includes two cascaded steps: camera spatial alignment, and the definition of coordinate system axes and ground. ### Step 1: Camera Spatial Alignment #### 1.1 Check Streaming * Ensure that the cameras are streaming and the streams are visible. #### 1.2 Adjust Camera Placement * Position the cameras to optimally cover the capturing space. For circular capturing spaces, arrange the cameras to focus on the center of the circle. Ensure each camera can fully capture a standing person with equal margins from top to bottom. For further details regarding the proper system setup, visit the [related section](../quickstart/system_setup). #### 1.3 Start Multi-camera Calibration * Click the camera calibration icon located on the top horizontal bar of the studio interface. #### 1.4 Enter Capturing Space with calibration accessories * Enter the capturing space with the appropriate calibration accessory. Use the calibration accessories and instructions [here](../equipment/markerless/accessories/calibration). #### 1.5 Monitor Calibration Progress * Observe the calibration progress via the calibration bars displayed for each camera. Each bar fills up as it receives calibration inputs. #### 1.6 Complete Calibration * The process is complete when all bars reach 100%. #### 1.7 Evaluate Calibration Quality * After the calibration process finishes, assess the precision. A bar will display the overall quality of the calibration. The closer to the green side the better. In case you feel not satisfied with the quality, please redo the process. ### Step 2: Setting the Coordinate System Origin #### 2.1 Place The Calibration Accessory * Place the calibration board flat on the floor. You will need to take 5 measurements (until the progress bar reaches 100%). To take a measurement, press the magenta origin button that appears next to the icon when origin calibration begins. See the step-by-step visual example below for reference.
