August
8, 2007- Burnaby, BC, Canada ??PhoeniX Technologies Incorporated (PTI)
recently showcased
a lineup of new accessories for its next generation
VisualeyezTM II VZ4000 Active Optical Real-Time motion
capture system to a huge audience at SIGGRAPH 2007.?
- New
VZSuit - redesigned with new features that will ultimately reduce
operating costs for users.? This is a two-piece stretchable Lycra motion capture
suit that is completely Velcro-compatible (except for the armpit areas). ?This
suit is very easy to wear and allows for free unrestricted acting motions. The
VZSuit is designed for quick and easy arrangement of the LED markers for optimal
capture performance. ??
- New
VZGlove - released for users looking for very precise and intricate
motion capture of the fingers.? Made with stretchable Velcro-compatible fabric
on the back side and mesh material on the palm side for sensitive touch, this
glove set allows tiny Velcro based markers to be easily attached anywhere in
order to minimize occlusion and allow the highly complex finger motions to be
captured.?
- New
SWMarkers (Semi-Wireless Markers) - a new marker system to bridge the gap
between wired and completely wireless SIMarkers. ?One wire-pair can power up to
ten SWMarkers, and three wire-pairs can be powered by a single battery pack
??making the SWMarker system almost wireless at a very attractive price. The
markers can also be re-positioned along the wire-pair to facilitate attachment
on a capture subject.
These new
accessories have been unveiled to help animation companies conveniently
streamline their mocap sessions and lower their operating costs.? They have
received excellent reviews from animators who were able to witness these product
innovations up close at SIGGRAPH 2007 and should be welcomed by many animation
companies.?
