The Vicon Cara is a portable motion capture headset featuring four adjustable miniature HD cameras, which register an actor’s motion and convert it into natural 3D computer graphics. The headset weighs only 1.2 kg and is comfortably worn without restricting the actor’s movement. This allows both the actors and the director to fully focus on the performance.
Statement by the Jury
The Vicon Cara enables low-cost entry into the professional motion capture field, which is of particular benefit to smaller film and animation studios.
