Live Motion Capture Software - Projection Mapping

[WHS Sound Guy]

I am working on a large project for an upcoming theatrical performance at a local school. I will be running projection mapping before and during the show. I'm very new to this but have been building skills quickly. We are performing "The Wizard of OZ". I would like to be able to run a live motion capture of an actor who plays the wizard and have that be the live input for some sort of 3D model of a wizard head. All of this will need to be able to run in real time and through projection mapping software. I'll be using MadMapper for this show. I had originally thought of just using a live camera to show the actor's face projected up on the stage. However, if it is possible to motion capture them to show a digital face, I think this would look much better. Does anyone know of software that can do this? I've found some motion capture software but most of it is not for real time or live applications. Others that have hinted at having live capabilities are expensive.

 

Thanks for your help in advance. If anything above needs to be clarified, let me know. Thanks.
