"Look Mom, Nothing To WEAR!"
Kong Man Cheung (aka German Cheung) - PhD student in the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University, (and others), created a Real-Time 3d Body Tracking solution requiring no body attachments, and published a paper to IEEE in June of 2000. Based on the sillouettes of a human body (or anything else) captured from multiple camera angles, the system constructs a 3d Voxel Model of the person and runs the data through other algorithms to achieve real-time tracking. (If anyone else has seen something similar, please forward it on to me or post it. Apologies if this is old news to some.)
