- MOVIN TRACIN reaches KRW 1 billion in global revenue within a year of launch, with expansion into robotics, live entertainment, sports and rehabilitation
- MOVIN extends its technology from ultra-light devices to large-space, multi-person environments and plans to build a 330㎡ R&D center
SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NAVER D2SF-backed MOVIN, a LiDAR-based 3D motion data AI company led by CEO Byeoli Choi, has raised KRW 10 billion in a Series A round. The round was led by IMM Investment, with participation from Industrial Bank of Korea (IBK) and Voyager Ventures. Existing investors Atinum Investment, NAVER D2SF, and Schmidt also made follow-on investments. This marks NAVER D2SF’s third consecutive investment in MOVIN, following its seed investment in 2023 and the pre-Series A round in 2025. With the new funding, MOVIN plans to grow its motion capture business and build an R&D center of approximately 330 square meters to strengthen its technology development in physical AI.
Founded in 2023, MOVIN develops technology that converts human movement into precise 3D data. Its flagship solution, MOVIN TRACIN, combines LiDAR sensors and camera vision with the company’s proprietary AI to capture movement in real time without suits or markers, replacing the complex setup and reducing the cost associated with conventional motion capture equipment. Building on this, MOVIN has secured global customers primarily in content production, including games, film, and virtual creators. Within a year of the product’s commercial launch, overseas sales accounted for 70% of total revenue, reflecting growing demand in international markets.
Building on its core technology, MOVIN is developing industry-specific solutions to address evolving market needs. Global robotics companies and research institutes such as Boston Dynamics and the RAI Institute have used MOVIN’s technology for robot teleoperation and training, and MOVIN TRACIN Lite, is being used by partners to collect human motion data for robot learning. MOVIN was also selected as the only South Korean Launching Adoption Partner for NVIDIA SOMA, integrating its technology to support robot learning with real-world human motion data. In live entertainment, MOVIN unveiled MOVIN TRACIN Stage, which tracks the movements of multiple performers simultaneously, at the 2026 NAB Show in the U.S. this April, where it also demonstrated integrations with Disguise and Notch. Based on these use cases, MOVIN plans to expand into live interactive content and shows, as well as sports, rehabilitation, and other industries that utilize human movement as data.
MOVIN, which raised a KRW 4 billion pre-Series A round last year, plans to use the new funding to advance its technology and grow its global business. Starting with MOVIN TRACIN, its single-person markerless motion capture solution, the company plans to extend its technology into on-device multimodal AI-based motion data infrastructure that supports everything from ultra-light devices to large-space, multi-person environments.
MOVIN is also expanding its R&D infrastructure. The planned R&D center will focus on collecting real-world multimodal datasets for world-model development and advancing MOVIN’s AI and motion data processing technologies.
"AI is moving beyond understanding text and images toward understanding and learning from movement in the real world," said Byeoli Choi, CEO of MOVIN. "Having seen the potential of our accessible motion capture technology in the global market, we will continue growing our content and entertainment business while building the motion data infrastructure the physical AI era needs."
