I did motion capture at Amsterdam long time ago, body and facial.
You can use ultrareflective material for the dots, and infrared cameras
to receive a really clean image.
But you don't need a scientific precision: I had great results using
just the "difference factor" between 2 frames, i.e., the amount of change.
You can read motion from different sections of the image, getting some
"virtual pads" that can flow to different sound parameters. From them
you can extract the moving blobs, the amount of certain colors, the
changes in time... this coul lead to a very expressive system, without
the scientific precission of motion capture.
