Setting obvious privacy implications aside, I'm surprised how good the animations look. I wonder if this could be developed further to enable cheap motion capture solutions for film/game studios. If it works in real-time then coupled with a game engine it could give you a direct in-camera look on what a cgi heavy scene might look like, without requiring (too) fancy hardware and also not adding distracting jump suits and reflective tennis balls and dot makeup all over the place.

The Mandalorian production comes to mind, they've been pushing this kind of direction hard.

Very cool stuff, thanks for sharing!
