🎮 Game Design & Interactive Media · motion capture NFTs

KINETIC · x402

A library of high-fidelity skeletal animation data accessible via payment-per-frame. Instead of buying a static NFT, game developers and AI agents stream motion data (dances, combat, gestures) directly into their engines for $0.01 per second of playback. Every millisecond of motion earns the original performer USDC in real-time, creating a live global marketplace for human motor skills.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the motion capture NFTs engine is metered with x402: 0.01 HBAR or 0.01 HTS USDC per call, paid from the embedded wallet, so game designers — or the agents working for them — pay per query and get a HashScan receipt every time.

Why this primitiveBy shifting from 'minting a token' to 'metering the data,' the capture becomes a liquid asset. This solves the animator's dilemma: you don't need a $500 license for one animation; you pay $0.05 to test a 'crouch' in your prototype. HTS transfer allows the engine to sign for data chunks seamlessly.
