    "We chose to work with Vicon because we needed the most precise and high-quality scientific data available, to prove our research is of the highest standard. The Vicon team set up the system within an hour, demonstrating how it works and showing the data capture results." #ThrowbackThursday to our 2019 case study with Technische Universität Dortmund highlighting how the University is developing innovative ways to approach the coexistence of drones and robots with people in warehouse environments, with the help of Vicon’s cutting-edge motion capture and VR solutions.

    Film +TV producer/director and multi-hyphenate. I direct and present TV shows created entirely inside Unreal Engine. Highly experienced across the whole spectrum of production.

    MONEY GUN REALTIME for MUSIC VIDEOS in UNREAL ENGINE None of us expected this effect to look this good. We have a real life money gun at the office that has been used variously in so many videos. I challenged the team to give me one that could be triggered in Unreal in real-time for a music video we were shooting. The particles create a really interesting tool for performance and movement. Not much to say beyond that except just another example of how very very capable Unreal is at bringing believable, grounded performance to life. No export, no path tracer, this is just what we get direct out of the volume.

    We had such a great time at ESMAC last week in Oslo. Thanks to everyone who came to our social and connected with us. We even got lucky and were able to see the Northern Lights on the evening of the Gala Dinner! 🌌 We are so grateful for the Vicon and ESMAC community and a big thank you to everyone who organized an amazing week. See you next year! 🙌

    Data has transformed the personnel side of coaching in football, with GPS tracking and machine learning being used to anticipate player success from college through to the NFL, but there are still significant gains left to be had. Elite coach Pete Bommarito and sports scientist Dr. Monique Mokha are taking football analytics to a new level using Vicon motion capture. In honor of the 2024 NFL season kicking off last weekend, revisit our case study with Nova Southeastern University: https://lnkd.in/ee86QWEU

    Nitin Sanket, assistant professor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s Robotics Engineering Department, and his team are using their Vicon system to help advance the creation of small, autonomous robots. Taking his cues from creatures such as insects and hummingbirds, Sanket hopes to program drones that can navigate cluttered environments, dynamically evade moving obstacles and safely navigate through small gaps. To get to a point where his robots won’t need a system such as motion capture to navigate, Sanket first needs to use motion capture as his source of ground truth.

    PING is using their Vicon system at Loughborough University to push the boundaries of golf performance and female golf biomechanics. "We want as much speed as we can get. And the reason the Valkyrie cameras are so good is because they have such a wide field of view that when we run at high speeds, we’re not losing any of the golf swing that we want to measure."
