Very nice project! Thanks for making it open-source and very easy to use. I hope you'll find contributors and be able to get a nice collection of animations!

I'm starting a new project, I may have to use this tool in the next few months.

Could also check out the Auto Rig Pro ( https://artell.gumroad.com/l/auto-rig-pro ) plugin in Blender, as it does corrective shape-keys and makes exports to Unity/Unreal trivial. Also, FaceIt ( https://faceit-doc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ) uses the iPhone Lidar with the Unreal App, and makes facial expression capture less buggy.

Keep in mind most motion capture files are considered live-performances, and must be licensed by the original rights holders:

This project sort of works for basic mocap (calibration needs ChArUco board):

Or if you have the resources and athletic actors around:
