Welcome to Glycon™
Glycon lets you make your own motion capture using only your VR equipment!
You just act out your scene in our virtual environment, or even bring in your own scene, props, and audio. Glycon records your sessions and builds mocap files you can use for your games, movies, educational material, or any other form of visual narrative. It's the simplest and fastest way to create professional quality motion capture, on any platform!
Glycon compatible Headsets:
Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest, Oculus Quest 2, HTC Vive, Vive Index, any Windows Mixed Reality headset, and any SteamVR compatible VR setup.
Glycon creates FBX and BVH files that are compatible with:
Blender, Cinema4D, iClone, LightWave, Maya, Max, Unreal, and Unity. Pretty much anything that can read FBX or BVH files.

Version 40 Oculus Quest 2 Demos - October 21

Version 40, beta 10 - September 17, 2020
In beta 10, we've introduced custom props. This is the first implementation of this feature, and we have huge plans for it going forward. But for now, bring in your own props, and act against them.
Then, when you export your mocap files, you can line them up with your real objects in your game engine or CG world, and it will look MUCH more natural than using off-the-shelf mocap, and trying to "make it fit".

Version 40, beta 9 - September 5, 2020
In beta 9, we greatly improved Vive tracker support, so your animations will look much better, and your Vive trackers should "just work" in most cases.
Just put the trackers on, calibrate it, or use the handy keyboard-only mode, if you want to be completely wireless, and just use trackers!

Oculus Quest into Unreal over WiFi
I have to stress that this is NOT a product yet, just a glimpse of the future. I hope to get you guys a more fleshed out demo of this soon, and open it up to beta testers.
Elite users will receive this update first, and be allowed to guide its development. After the major bugs are worked out, all Pro users will receive an invite, then after it's pretty bulletproof, I'll post a public demo.
