Real-Time MoCap blending on Google Cloud (GCP) with Elastic & Fivetran
MotionBlendAI is an end-to-end motion capture (MoCap) pipeline that blends human animations using a single-shot GAN model and integrates with Google Cloud Platform (Vertex AI), Elasticsearch, and Fivetran.
- Single-shot GAN architecture with temporal conditioning
- Real-time blending that generates smooth transitions in one forward pass
- Semantic control via natural-language descriptions
- Automated motion quality assessment and metrics
- Elasticsearch for semantic and vector search
- Fivetran connector for data ingestion into BigQuery
- Vertex AI for training and serving models
- Production-ready logging, monitoring, and error handling
- 20+ mock motions covering athletic, dance, combat, wellness, and performance
- End-to-end pipeline from seed motions to demo artifacts
- Interactive web-based motion explorer and demo materials
- Performance benchmarks and quality metrics

The mock library includes more than 20 motions across categories such as athletic, dance, martial arts, and everyday activities. Each motion is annotated with semantic descriptions, quality metrics, and an embedding vector for similarity search.
Each motion includes:
- Semantic descriptions
- Quality metrics (temporal consistency, spatial accuracy)
- Feature extraction (energy, complexity, body-part focus)
- Embedding vectors for similarity search
- Metadata: duration, format, category, tags
