This one needs a caption - This is Bill Altemus and Lee Harrison with the Animac, right as it was about to be trashed.

The ANIMAC was a prototype machine and the first working capture rig which could animate 3d figures in real-time. Lee Harrison, together with Edwin J. Tajchman, received the National Academy of Television Arts and Science award for their Outstanding Achievement in Engineering Development.

You can learn more about this marvel of 80s tech in chapter 12.2 of the book "Computer Graphics and Computer Animation: A Retrospective Overview": link

I'd never heard of this. The "Scanimate" was a pure-analogue video synthsiser, like an old moog or a modular synth, but for video and on a much larger scale. Very synthwave/vaporwave aesthetic.
