For years, motion capture (mocap) required sensor suits, physical markers on the body and complex technical sessions. But the future is here: markerless motion capture captures human movement in real time with no equipment on the performer. It is a revolution for entertainment, communication, sport, healthcare and, of course, generative AI and the metaverse.
And the technology that makes it possible is Captury.
Developed by The Captury, this solution captures a person’s movements from standard video cameras, without sensors or markers.
➡️ The result: smooth, fast capture, compatible with real-time engines such as Unreal Engine.
➡️ And a frictionless experience, whether for actors, influencers or live demo hosts.
This is the technology that caused a sensation at Unreal Fest 2025 in Orlando, with a stunning live demonstration of an animated MetaHuman character. And good news: this technology is already available in France, at SoWhen?!
SoWhen?, a CreaTech studio based in the Paris region, is the only studio in France equipped with the Captury solution.
We make this unique setup available in our studio for rent, for professional productions, immersive demonstrations or R&D projects around the metaverse, artificial intelligence or phygital.
Whether you are a producer, communicator, start-up, teacher or researcher, our studio is open to you.
Come and experience smooth, fast and futuristic capture.

At Unreal Fest 2025 in Orlando, our co-founder Mohamed Marouene took part in a live demonstration combining The Captury’s markerless motion capture technology with the latest MetaHuman 5.6 features of Epic Games’ Unreal Engine.
🎥 Wearing the same facial capture headset used in the film Avatar, Mohamed animated a MetaHuman in real time, showing the spectacular progress made possible by combining these two technologies.
A huge thank you to Christopher Pham and Robbie Derry of ILM (Industrial Light & Magic) for their support, and to Tony Lacey of Epic Games for presenting what is new in MetaHuman 5.6.
