From Wikipedia:

“Motion capture, Motion Tracking or Mocap, is a technique of digitally recording movements for entertainment, sports and medical applications. A performer wears markers near each joint to identify the motion by the positions or angles between the markers.

The motion capture computer software records the positions, angles, velocities, accelerations and impulses, providing an accurate digital representation of the motion.

Motion capture saves time and creates more natural movements than manual animation, but is limited to motions that are anatomically possible.”
