With the Unity Live Capture package (com.unity.live-capture), you can capture animations from multiple physical devices and record them in the Unity Editor to animate characters and cameras.
This repository contains all packages, applications, tests, and demo projects related with Unity Live Capture.
To learn about the Unity Live Capture package and apps (concepts, features, and workflows) read the Live Capture package documentation from the latest external release.
This repository uses Git LFS so make sure you have LFS installed to get all the files. Unfortunately this means that the large files are also not included in the "Download ZIP" option on Github.
