Imagine immersing yourself in a VR experience in the UK where all the characters are animated by live actors from Australia, or a dance video game that features real dancers captured in Mumbai. _MotionRiver_ allows developers to create new types of responsive experience. From live immersive performances to interactive video games - the difference here is that instead of repeating the same programmatic or looping sequence, over and over, characters will be able to react and respond in a natural and realistic way - because they are controlled by real actors. _MotionRiver_ is an innovative open-source software toolkit that inputs and outputs a wide variety of mocap data which it converts into a 'universal' format. Just as Android and iOS work on different phones, there are also different types of mocap data - and this tool will solve the compatibility problem - allowing more interconnectivity. The application streams data over the internet to remote computers running the application which can receive and use the motion data in the desired format. The innovation stems from research questions relating to how to capture and disseminate liveness across digital platforms. How do we create new spaces for immersive performance to be made? How do we bridge the gap of distance and work within the new context of dislocation and confinement? _MotionRiver_ is a new tool that will enable greater accessibility of motion capture and innovate new methods of cultural and creative collaboration.Our new project scope also looks to; 1. resolve technical challenges revealed by our R&D process in relation to the Vicon platform, 2. explore new exploitation opportunities we have discovered in developing the software solution that will result in commercial gain and 3. build a wider, international network of clients, partners and project supporters.

想象一下，在英国沉浸在VR体验中，所有的角色都是由来自澳大利亚的现场演员制作的动画，或者在孟买拍摄的舞蹈视频游戏中，让自己沉浸在VR体验中。_MotionRiver_允许开发者创建新型的响应式体验。从现场沉浸式表演到互动式视频游戏——不同之处在于，角色将能够以自然和现实的方式做出反应，而不是一遍又一遍地重复相同的程序或循环序列——因为他们是由真正的演员控制的。motionriver_是一个创新的开源软件工具包，输入和输出各种各样的动作捕捉数据，它转换成“通用”格式。就像Android和iOS在不同的手机上运行一样，也有不同类型的动作捕捉数据——这个工具将解决兼容性问题——允许更多的互联性。该应用程序通过互联网将数据流传输到运行该应用程序的远程计算机，这些计算机可以接收并使用所需格式的运动数据。这项创新源于有关如何在数字平台上捕捉和传播活力的研究问题。我们如何为沉浸式表演创造新的空间？我们如何弥合距离的鸿沟，并在错位和限制的新背景下工作？motionriver_是一个新的工具，它将使更多的动作捕捉和创新的文化和创意合作的新方法。我们的新项目范围还包括；1. 1 .解决Vicon平台研发过程中出现的技术难题；探索我们在开发软件解决方案中发现的新的开发机会，这将导致商业收益和3。建立更广泛的客户、合作伙伴和项目支持者的国际网络。
