Vicon showing latest mocap cameras at SIGGRAPH

OXFORD, UK — Motion control technology specialist Vicon (www.vicon.com) is showcasing its two new cameras - Vero and Vue - at this year’s SIGGRAPH show in Anaheim, CA. The cameras join Vicon’s flagship Vantage camera to form a new product family. 



Vero is a high-resolution optical camera series, offering a new level of performance, flexibility and value in the motion-capture market. Vero is designed to be an economical system suited for virtually any application. The Vero range includes a custom-made 6-12mm variable focus lens that delivers an optimized field of view, as well as a 2.2 megapixel camera at 330Hz. This balance of resolution, speed and value makes it well suited for capturing fast sport movements and multiple actors, drones or robots with very low latency. 

The range also includes a powerful 1.3 megapixel camera. Vero is compatible with existing Vicon T-series, Bonita and Vantage cameras, as well as with Vicon’s Control app, which allows users to calibrate the system and make adjustments on the fly.

Vue is a new, dedicated, high-definition synchronized video camera that provides clear and precise realtime video footage and 3D overlay in the mocap volume. With HD resolution and variable focal lengths, Vue incorporates sharp video images into the motion capture volume. It also enables seamless calibration between optical and video volumes, ensuring the optical and video views are aligned to capture the finest of details.
