Why MyoSapiens?

The problem we solve

Understanding human shape and motion underpins animation, robotics, sports, XR, and biomechanics. All of these domains rely on fitting an anatomical kinematic model to recorded motion. Nevertheless, the space has become highly fragmented as everybody uses:

  • Different rigs and formats
  • Varying joint definitions and coordinate conventions
  • No unified standard for motion quality or anatomy
  • Significant manual cleanup and rig adaptation

A unified approach is increasingly essential.

Our solution

MyoSapiens provides a single, unified API that abstracts away this complexity. We handle:

  • Rig normalization
  • Standardized joint definitions
  • Human-body kinematic constraints
  • Robust retargeting across motion formats

So you can focus on building your product, not maintaining the underlying motion stack.

The first release enables motion retargeting, with additional motion intelligence features planned.

MyoSapiens SDK (MyoSDK)

MyoSDK is the developer interface designed to expose enterprise-grade scalable API access to MyoSapiens evolving capabilities.

MyoKinesis (Current Release)

Human Kinematics Retargeting API - Map motion capture data onto unified, anatomically consistent human kinematics.

  • Rig normalization - Convert between different skeleton structures
  • Standardized joint definitions - Consistent across all outputs
  • Anthropometric scaling - Adjust for different body sizes
  • Robust retargeting - Works across motion formats

Useful for animation pipelines, XR avatars, robotics simulation, performance analysis, and fitness apps.

See Kinesis for more details.

Future Capabilities

Additional motion intelligence features are planned for future releases. The SDK is designed to be a stable, future-proof interface as MyoSapiens capabilities expand.

How the SDK Fits In

The Python SDK is the simplest way to integrate with MyoSapiens. It provides:

  • Authentication
  • Asset management
  • Job orchestration
  • Polling and retries
  • Strong typing and clear errors

A stable, future-proof interface as the MyoSapiens capabilities expands. Designed to fit naturally into existing production pipelines. See the Installation Guide to get started with the SDK.

Use Cases (Current Release)

Developers use the early MyoSDK to:

  • Standardize motion capture data into a human-accurate kinematic format
  • Drive realistic full-body rigs in games, XR, or virtual production
  • Power movement-aware fitness or sports features
  • Simulate humans within control or robotics systems
  • Normalize motion from multiple mocap sources

Integration Considerations

The MyoSDK is designed to be consumed via server-side integrations for:

  • Better security
  • No client-side key exposure
  • No CORS issues
  • Cleaner job management

Recommended architecture: Frontend → Your Backend → MyoSDK

In the current release, job processing does not retain your data beyond what is required to complete the job. Uploaded data and generated outputs are deleted shortly after the job finishes.
