Rokoko is a Danish brand of consumer motion capture and animation technology products. It was founded in 2015 in Copenhagen, Denmark with additional offices located in Athens, Greece, and San Francisco, USA.[1] It manufactures the Smartsuit Pro, an IMU motion capture suit used by animators, game developers, vTubers.[2][3]

History[edit]

Rokoko was founded by Jakob Balslev, Matias Søndergaard, and Anders Klok in March 2014, however the idea came to them when they were at the National Film School of Denmark.[4] Initially, they launched a Kickstarter campaign for the Smartsuit Pro. The motion capture technology, unveiled in December 2016, uses a wireless body suit and integrates with software development platforms.[5] The company also produces the Smartgloves for finger tracking, as well as software for face tracking.[6]

Smartsuit Pro II, the next generation of Smartsuit Pro, was announced in 2021.[7]
