actFig
actFig is a standardized data model and file format designed to represent articulated figures and their actions for use in computer graphics, robotics, and biomechanics. The format aims to enable interoperable storage and exchange of skeleton definitions, joint parameters, pose states, and temporal motion data across diverse software tools and pipelines.
Origin and evolution: actFig was conceived by the ActFig Consortium, a collaboration of researchers and industry
Structure and content: An actFig file consists of metadata, a figure description, pose data, and motion tracks.
Encoding and interoperability: actFig is offered in a human-readable JSON-based schema and an accompanying compact binary
Limitations and reception: While growing in popularity, actFig remains less entrenched than legacy formats in certain
