In this Quick Hits project, we are looking for teams who can design a motion capture system for 3D animated LEGO minifigures, in real time, over live action video.

We are looking for a team that is experienced with designing motion capture systems and working with Augmented Reality who can help us design the technical systems for a project with Tongal and The LEGO Group.

More information will be provided upon completion of an NDA. Right now, we're just looking for your portfolio and resume working within live motion capture systems and AR. Ultimately, budget and compensation will be negotiated afterward based on the scope of work and your level of experience. 

For any questions or other project updates, check out the Project Forum.

By participating in this project, creators acknowledge that the Sponsor is under no obligation to greenlight a submission. Though most projects do move forward, we'll notify you in the event the Sponsor decides not to fund any submissions via the Project Forum. Regardless of the result, all submissions will be reviewed and evaluated by the Sponsor and project team.

In order to be considered, include the below materials in your submission. For examples of effective pitches, check out this gallery. All Pitches remain private, even after a Pitch is selected, and Tongal strives to have Pitch selections made by the end of the Evaluation period, but additional time may be required by the Sponsor, depending on any number of factors. Unless specifically requested, there's no need to include a budget with your submission.

• PORTFOLIO (REQUIRED): Please include a portfolio of previous work samples or information about your work process.
