Move AI is a motion-capture technology company on a mission to democratize 3D animation by eliminating the cost and complexity of traditional mocap. Conventional motion capture requires actors in marker suits, dedicated stages, and expensive camera arrays. Move AI replaces that with AI-driven markerless capture that extracts accurate 3D motion data from standard 2D video, enabling animation capture using ordinary cameras or even phones.
The company has pioneered markerless motion capture since 2019 and developed what it describes as the industry's first multi-camera markerless systems, underpinned by patented AI behind its motion engine. Its products span single-camera and multi-camera capture as well as Move Live for real-time markerless mocap, letting studios drive characters and virtual performances live. The technology converts 2D video into clean, retargetable 3D motion suitable for game engines and animation pipelines.
Move AI's outputs serve a broad set of use cases beyond games, including film and virtual production, music and entertainment, and biomechanics and sports analysis where precise body motion data is valuable. For game developers specifically, Move AI offers a way to capture large amounts of character animation affordably, removing the hardware barrier that historically limited high-quality mocap to well-funded studios. Co-founder and CEO Tino Millar has framed the goal as reducing the cost of 3D animation and making it accessible to all creators.
The company raised a $10 million seed round announced in December 2025 from investors including Play Ventures, Warner Music Group, RKKVC, Level2 Ventures, and Animoca Brands. The participation of a major music company and gaming-focused funds reflects Move AI's relevance across entertainment verticals. As real-time and AI-driven content production grows, Move AI is positioning markerless capture as a foundational input for animated and interactive media.
