ArXi:2603.17704v1 Announce Type: cross Creating compelling 3D character animations typically requires either expert use of professional software or expensive motion capture systems operated by skilled actors. We present DancingBox, a lightweight, vision-based system that makes motion capture accessible to novices by reimagining the process as digital puppetry. Instead of tracking precise human motions, DancingBox captures the approximate movements of everyday objects manipulated by users with a single webcam.
