      • Film and Animation
        • The idea of copying human motion for animated characters is not new. To get convincing motion for the human characters in Snow White, Disney studios traced animation over film footage of live actors playing out the scenes. This method, called rotoscoping, has been successfully used for human characters ever since.

          Those foundations are the basis of today’s healthy industry that continues to evolve with new techniques and technologies.

      • Virtual Production
        • Virtual production is a broad term for a wide range of computer-aided filmmaking methods that are intended to enhance creativity and save time. The use of real-time tools can turn the traditional linear pipeline into a parallel process where the lines between pre-production, production, and post-production are blurred, making the entire pipeline more fluid and collaborative.

      • Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
        • Rather than painstakingly animating often complex, subtle movements in objects, engineers have now devised much more efficient methods of tracking paths for UAV re-enactment. The automation of flight paths, or production lines, can now be honed using optical tracking equipment in real-time to gather a constant global position.

      • Virtual Reality
        • Motion capture technology has made translating the physics of motion into the digital environment much easier.

          This allows the creation of fully immersive environments that can be explored for design, engineering and OH&S.

      Ascension trakSTAR

      The trakSTAR™ electromagnetic (EM) 6DoF tracking solution from Ascension Technology Corporation (an NDI company) provides cost-effective, high accuracy position and orientation tracking technology for integration into the most innovative and realistic medical training and surgical rehearsal simulators and military flight and gunnery simulation systems. Miniaturized, lightweight sensors embedded into medical instruments, helmets or Head Mounted Displays (HMD) track the user’s movements in all six degrees of freedom (6DoF), with no line of sight requirements. Every movement within the tracking volume, no matter how subtle or precise, is tracked in real time to exceptional accuracy. This accuracy, combined with low latency and fast update rates, allows sensor position and orientation data to integrate seamlessly with the simulator display to produce interactive training that’s remarkably true to life. A configurable design, small hardware footprint, and ease of integration further complement this 6DoF electromagnetic tracking technology solution known for its high value and high performance.

        System Components

        A desktop tracking electronics unit with integrated power supply.

        Transmitters The trakSTAR works in conjunction with a transmitter that establishes the coordinate frame and tracking volume.

        • Mid-Range Transmitter (MRT): provides a larger tracking volume.
        • Short-Range Transmitter (SRT):  provides a smaller tracking volume.

        Sensors

        • 6DOF (six degrees of freedom) sensors come in a variety of sizes, from an 8 mm general-purpose sensor to a minuscule 0.56 mm needle-sized sensor.

        Performance Motion Box

        All tracking components are subjected to a calibration procedure that optimizes performance over a given region. This region is referred to as the Performance Motion Box. In these regions, tracking accuracy is the greatest. If you are developing an application that requires high tracking accuracy, be sure to position the transmitter such that critical measurements are taken in these regions. Tracking outside the box may not yield results with equivalent accuracy.
