Does the AI create the 3D model from a static camera?

Can I choose the color of the avatar? (It's not an important feature, but people will love it.)

Does it work with natural walls? (I guess the artificial walls have "handles" with an standard size that makes guesing the scale easier for the computer.)

- it creates a 3D model of you based on the first second of your body in the video. How the video is recorded does affect how the 3D avatar looks.

- don't have that functionality but its really easy to implement.

- ideally, it works for anything. I will attach some outputs of it climbing outdoor routes. The model doesn't know what a wall means. It just has seen enough data of people climbing that it can somehow correlate certain features in videos to certain human movements.

My guess is that for the computer it's easier in an artificial wall becasue features are standarized.

(Disclaimer: I never climbed a wall, but from time to time I fall in the https://www.youtube.com/@AlbertOkay rabit hole. In particular this video looks relevant for my question https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onXrJ5sX9BU (but I din't watch it yet.))

Yeah it performs best with indoor bouldering videos with spread out holds and great lighting. I will post examples of it climbing natural walls in the paper. Will send soon.
