A low-cost, room-scale motion capture system built with PlayStation cameras and ESP32 hardware, used to track objects and autonomously fly multiple drones indoors. It combines a Python backend performing computer-vision mocap computations with a TypeScript web frontend for visualization and control.

Use cases

• track drones indoors with cheap cameras
• build a DIY motion capture system
• autonomous multi-drone indoor flight
• room-scale object tracking for robotics research
• low-cost alternative to Vicon or OptiTrack mocap

When to choose

• you need motion capture on a budget using off-the-shelf cameras
• you want to fly quadcopters autonomously indoors without expensive mocap hardware
• you're doing robotics research requiring external (outside-in) position tracking

When to avoid

• you need production-grade mocap precision like commercial Vicon systems
• you want an inside-out SLAM solution without external cameras
• you need polished documentation and easy setup - compiling OpenCV with SFM is required
