I don't see how this could work for animation. The whole point of motion capture is that the human actor moves thru space with infinite grace and subtle declination of all important joints, muscles, etc. How would you "move" the manniquin?

As originalplaid implied above, it might be really spiffy for single-frame poses.

I have been investigating small-scale motion capture. You can put together a facial-only system for around $2000 and use your own camcorder, proFace(video) and get full body wireless capture (Gypsy) for around $20,000 with a 1/2 mile radius! That sounds like a lot, but those prices are much much lower than just a few years ago.
