OpenStage

OpenStage harnesses Organic Motion’s core computer vision technology, enabling computers to cognitively “see” people’s complex movements and generate highly accurate 3D tracking data in real-time, all without body suits or tracking devices. Organic Motion’s system has eliminated the need for markers, long set-up times, calibration efforts, occlusion errors, and operating technician costs. Instead, OpenStage can be calibrated in minutes, provide immediate scanning of subjects including simple props, and stream data in real-time into the leading interfaces for animation and biomechanical analysis.

OpenStage is designed to meet the demanding and varied requirements of commercial animators, educators, and public exhibitors.

OpenStage delivers these powerful capabilities:

     · Multiple actors tracked instantly with no markers
     · No backdrop required
     · Larger scanning volumes
     · Increased accuracy
     · Prop tracking

OpenStage is ideal for quickly performing previz and rapid proto-typing, as well as for full production work. Its new modular software enables end users to expand and customize their system for different applications.
