REC: A Unity Tool to Replay, Export and Capture Tracked Movements for 3D and Virtual Reality Applications

Abstract

We present REC12, a Unity open-source tool for developers and researchers to record, export and replay the movements of virtual reality users and virtual characters. Recording both real-time body tracking and animations, this tool makes it possible to export skeletal data in a comma-separated values (CSV) file allowing to process and analyze users’ movements. We also provide a feature to reload and replay saved movements directly from the CSV file on virtual characters in a 3D environment.
