Vicon Launches New Products

 

- Vicon transforms motion capture with intelligent new camera platform -

 

- Easy to use camera range opens up motion capture to a wider audience -

 

OMG plc (LSE: OMG), the technology group providing Computer Vision products and services for the entertainment, life science, engineering industries and consumer electronics markets, announces that Vicon, its motion capture technology division, has launched a new camera range, Vicon Vantage, and a new iPad control application.

Drawing on over 30 years' of motion capture ("mocap") experience, Vantage is an intelligent new flagship camera platform which combines industry-leading technology with accessible design to open up mocap to a broader audience.

Advances in camera technology have led to a burgeoning demand for mocap across an ever wider range of applications; for instance, tracking robots and drones, assisting in sportswear design and immersive shopping experiences. To meet the needs of the diversifying audience, Vantage combines advanced, powerful features with added intelligence, making it easy to use and accessible for this new generation of mocap applications.

Intelligence in motion capture

The new series, available in 5, 8 and 16 megapixel models, continuously monitors performance with an array of sensors and provides the user with visual feedback through both the camera, the software and via Vicon's new tablet app, Vicon Control. The Control app, which is currently available from Apple's App Store, allows users to make adjustments on the move and in real-time. Users can remotely change camera settings, calibrate the system, and start and stop capture - it turns what was traditionally a multiple crew setup into a one person job.

The Vantage range not only continues Vicon's long-held, industry-leading 16 megapixel resolution, but also includes completely re-engineered processing algorithms and tracking capabilities that fundamentally improve performance over previous generations. This powerful combination of features captures a much higher quality of data, providing key benefits to the entertainment, engineering and medical sciences industries.

Commenting on the launch, Nick Bolton, OMG Chief Executive Officer said:

"I am very pleased to see the launch of Vantage which demonstrates Vicon's continuous advancements in innovation and paves the way for the future of mocap. Vicon continues to push boundaries and this new, easy to use Vantage range has been designed to provide more information and a much wider array of capabilities to its users than ever before. This intuitive system enables a new generation of customers to fully harness the power and abilities of the camera range alongside our renowned software."
