Engineers from the Max Planck Institute demonstrated a technology that allows, without additional marks on the human body, to create its 3D model and restore motion in space using a single camera. A brief description of the technology is published on the MonoPerfCap website.

To get started, you need to walk a few times in front of the camera in the T-shaped position, so that the technology fixes the figure of the person, and his gait. Using this camera in the future, you can instantly create 3D scenes and animations, change the background of the videos, create pictures with perspective and AR-pictures.

Recently, designers from the Laboratory of Prototyping and Design of the University of Tokyo printed on a 3D printer beetles connected to an electric motor. Biorobots from the project Ready to Crawl, despite the printing, absolutely repeat the movements of these beetles.
