OpenPose Unity Plugin is a wrapper of the OpenPose library for Unity users. It provides formatted OpenPose output and some examples. OpenPose is a real-time multi-person system able to jointly detect human body, hand, facial, and foot keypoints (in total 135 keypoints) on single images.

The OpenPose Unity Plugin project is authored by Tianyi Zhao, Gines Hidalgo, and Yaser Sheikh. Currently, it is being maintained by Tianyi Zhao and Gines Hidalgo.
