We talked about the Qumarion mannequin earlier this month, where it sparked off plenty of questions as well as curious looks. After all, this device, also known as a mannequin or action figure, will enable just about anyone to come up with their very own computer animation that are decent enough to pass off as an unpolished professional effort. Of course, the pros ought to be able to get it right more often than not, and I believe that there is a rather steep learning curve before you arrive at where the pros are, but hey – everyone has got to start somewhere, don’t they?
Pre-orders for the Qumarion will kick off from June 21st onwards, so if you are interested in picking up one of these puppies, why not make sure your calendar is free on that particular day? This humanoid input device might pave the way for more home made videos, where folks who possess the artistic sense but do not have the relevant technical know-how are soon able to generate their very own computer generated animation and footage.
