Vicon today announced the launch of Active Crown, a virtual production camera tracking solution that provides users with flexible tracking for cameras positioned anywhere on In-Camera Visual Effects stages.  “Virtual production teams experience a unique set of challenges due to the complexity of the various technologies we combine to create immersive virtual sets,” said Tim Doubleday, head of on-set virtual production at Dimension. “Camera tracking is a critical problem to manage, allowing for accurate presentation of the scene in real-time whilst minimizing occlusion and interference within busy stages. With Active Crown, we saw a huge improvement in rotational noise right off the bat, and the setup workflow felt very nice, especially the magnetic detachable stalks. You could tell it had been through Vicon’s thoughtful product development.” The launch comes on the heels of Vicon's markerless motion capture launch earlier this year, which allows users to instantly visualize ideas with the Vanguard markerless motion-tracking camera and new software incorporating advanced computer vision, machine learning, and algorithms.
