Deadshot review
A free, no-install browser tool for real-time AI motion capture with GLB export.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Deadshot is an open-source AI motion capture tool created by Christopher Hosken as a Bournemouth University research and development project. It runs directly in a web browser, requires no installation or additional software, and provides AI-powered tracking for real-time motion capture. That makes it a practical fit for users who want a simple way to capture motion without installing a desktop application, as well as developers interested in modifying or extending an open-source project.
The pricing model is straightforward: Deadshot is free to use, modify, and extend under the GPL-3.0 license. Its browser-based delivery keeps the entry process simple, with no installation step, while the live tracking workflow is designed for real-time operation. The standout feature is the combination of AI tracking, browser access, and direct animation export. Captured animation can be exported in GLB format, giving the tool a defined path from browser capture to a compatible 3D asset format.
Deadshot is more focused than a broad motion capture suite. The published feature set centers on browser capture, AI tracking, real-time operation, open-source access, and GLB export, while the project notes that tracking results may be inconsistent or noisy. Users who need a free, no-install browser tool and can work with GLB output should consider it. Those who need steadier tracking results or a wider export workflow should choose an alternative with requirements that better match those needs.
