Wearable article with conduits for a performance capture system

A system for facilitating a performance capture system, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• logic encoded in one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media for execution by the one or more processors and when executed operable to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising exchanging one or more of control signals and data signals with a wearable article, wherein the wearable article comprises:
• one or more regions of the wearable article configured to be worn on at least a portion of a body of a user, wherein the one or more regions are material portions of the wearable article, and wherein the one or more regions are pliable;
• at least one of the one or more regions comprising at least one base layer and at least one secondary layer configured to form at least one connection passage between the at least one base layer and the at least one secondary layer;
• wherein the at least one base layer and the at least one secondary layer of the at least one connection passage form a conduit through which one or more flexible cable connections pass, and wherein the at least one connection passage has a predetermined width that allows the at least one connection passage to move within the conduit independently from the at least one connection passage;
• wherein the at least one connection passage is configured to provide access for the one or more flexible cable connections between at least one reference marker and one or more other reference markers or a control unit;
• and
• wherein the at least one connection passage is configured to allow movement of the one or more flexible cable connections within the connection passage in response to movement of the user.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with program instructions stored thereon, the program instructions when executed by one or more processors are operable to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising exchanging one or more of control signals and data signals with a wearable article, wherein the wearable article comprises:

• one or more regions of the wearable article configured to be worn on at least a portion of a body of a user, wherein the one or more regions are material portions of the wearable article, and wherein the one or more regions are pliable;
• at least one of the one or more regions comprising at least one base layer and at least one secondary layer configured to form at least one connection passage between the at least one base layer and the at least one secondary layer;
• wherein the at least one base layer and the at least one secondary layer of the at least one connection passage form a conduit through which one or more flexible cable connections pass, and wherein the at least one connection passage has a predetermined width that allows the at least one connection passage to move within the conduit independently from the at least one connection passage;
• wherein the at least one connection passage is configured to provide access for the one or more flexible cable connections between at least one reference marker and one or more other reference markers or a control unit;
• and
• wherein the at least one connection passage is configured to allow movement of the one or more flexible cable connections within the connection passage in response to movement of the user.
