Long range, high-density facial capture – Activision
“When Activision wanted to know how our Prime Series could enable their vision for a new performance capture stage, we were stunned by the scale of what they wanted to achieve. It was twice the size of a traditional P-Cap setup,” said Brian Nilles, OptiTrack’s Chief Strategy Officer. “We engineered a solution based on the super-long-range Prime 41 that actually exceeded their original spec, capable of tracking 100 3mm face markers from up to 65’ away.”
Teaching Hollywood mocap pipelines to future content creators – USC School of Cinematic Arts
In addition to educating some of the most distinguished filmmakers in the world, the USC School of Cinematic Arts shapes the future of media content with its research on the science behind digital arts. At its heart is The Robert Zemeckis Center for Digital Arts, a world-class digital production facility that recently installed three OptiTrack Prime Series systems to expand its instructional and research capabilities. The installations include a performance capture stage for teaching production animation to future content creators; the Michelle and Kevin Douglas IMAX® Theatre and Immersive Lab with integrated motion capture for exploring real-time interactivity, live stereoscopic media and gesture interface; and a World Building Media Lab to design and visualize virtual environments for immersive story-boarding, previsualization and concepting.
