MOCAP STUDIO · VICON INSTALLATION

Last week, Prophysics came to our studio in order to install our Vicon system: 3 MX Giganets, 24 MXT40S cameras!

The first day was dedicated to building the system that came packed into several boxes. 16 cameras were first attached to the two flexible grids and 8 others were mounted on tripods.

The next day, Prophysics’s technicians carefully calibrated each camera to obtain the largest possible motion capture volume while maintaining high tracking accuracy (see photo below). We finally tested the system intensively with different sizes of markers to ensure its proper setup, and especially to make sure we can precisely capture the smallest eyebrow movements, as well as incredibly fast movements across a large range of motion!
