Dollars MoCap is a suite of markerless motion- and facial-capture apps that turn ordinary hardware — a single webcam, a depth camera, VR gear, an iPhone, or an NVIDIA camera — into an animation pipeline, streaming the captured bone and face data into tools like iClone, Unreal Engine, and Unity. It is aimed at indie animators, game developers, filmmakers, and VR creators who want professional-looking character animation without an expensive optical mocap stage. Its main differentiator is breadth: rather than one capture method, it ships nine specialized products spanning full-body, hands, face, gesture recognition, and even text-to-motion.

Spheroid AI Avatars is a no-code platform for building customizable 3D digital characters that can see, speak, and hold voice conversations, then anchoring them to real-world locations for people to discover and interact with through the XR Hub AR mobile app. It's aimed at businesses, educators, and advertisers who want immersive AR engagement without technical skills — you pick a space, choose or upload a 3D model, describe the avatar's personality, and publish in about five minutes. What sets it apart is its location-based augmented reality approach, letting avatars be placed anywhere in the physical world rather than confined to a screen or website widget.
