Noitom Introduces Pro Version Motion Capture System and Teams with NOTCH VFX at Prolight + Sound 2018

Prolight + Sound is the International Fair of Technologies & Services for Events & Entertainment taking place April 10th-13th in Frankfurt Germany.

FRANKFURT, Germany (PRWEB) April 11, 2018

Noitom, the company that launched Perception Neuron—the world’s most affordable motion capture system—is back in Europe attending the Prolight & Sound conference in Messe, Frankfurt, April 10th -13th.

Prolight + Sound is the annual conference that welcomes professionals from the live entertainment and installation sector from all over the world. The conference is taking place at the Messe Frankfurt—the world’s largest trade fair, congress and event organizer.

During the 4-day show, Noitom will introduce their upcoming Perception Neuron PRO.

Like Perception Neuron 2.0, Perception Neuron PRO is an IMU sensor-based full-body motion capture system that can record motion data anywhere without any constraints to space and without the need for optical cameras. Perception Neuron PRO is completely wireless and can be used in any lighting condition both indoors or out, without occlusion, cameras or line-of-site restrictions. With its a high tolerance to magnetic fields, and hardware that can withstand dynamic motion, Perception Neuron PRO offers a robust solution for professional filmmakers, animators, researchers and stage performers.

Perception Neuron PRO will be a truly wireless system, with the data transmission taking place directly from the hub to the sensors. A 120 Hz maximum output rate will give users smooth and accurate data. Designed to be portable, Perception Neuron PRO comes with a hard shell anti-mag case for storing the motion capture suit and its accessories. One of the system’s most important accessories is the “battery box” case that is used not only for storage of the sensors, but for calibration. The sensors are calibrated in a process where they are placed inside the box and the box is moved as the system directs. The box also works as a charging station rendering the system capable of continuous use.

The sensors themselves do not lock into the suits, but are enclosed in a housing that snaps into the suit straps. The housing also facilitates a button which can be used to turn the sensors on or off.

“We are always looking toward the future and thinking about what our audience might need next,” says Roch Nakajima, president of Noitom International. “Perception Neuron PRO is aimed at creators seeking to capture intense motions for big-budget productions. Perception Neuron PRO is designed to be a straightforward option for professional-level motion capture recording. Without optical cameras to set up, and without any limits to space and light, directors and animators can expect clean and accurate results that will match the scale of their project while saving on time and costs.”

Perception Neuron PRO will make its official launch later this year and will be available for purchase on the Perception Neuron online store.

Attendees of Prolight + Sound will also have the chance to see Noitom’s newly released Hi5 VR Glove Business Edition. The glove, designed to be used with a tracker, provides a complete range of hand and finger motions inside a virtual environment. The Hi5 VR Glove business edition is currently available for purchase online.

For a series of live demos during the show, Noitom will be joined by real-time 3D facial animation software maker, Facerig, and NOTCH VFX software. Already known to some of the world’s biggest artists and special effects supervisors, and compatible with media servers such as Green Hippo, NOTCH’s stunning graphics rendering can be used in real-time motion during live performances. Combined with Perception Neuron’s full body motion capture, NOTCH gives any performer or stage director the ability to produce compelling, WYSIWYG visual effects that integrate seamlessly with human motion to enhance live entertainment experiences.

The combination of Perception Neuron 2.0 and NOTCH makes it possible to create low-cost production visual effects not just for big-name, big budget stage shows, but for productions of any scale.

"We at Notch are always looking for ways to take live visuals to the next level and bring amazing new possibilities to show designers,” says Matt Swoboda, founder of NOTCH. “When we saw the Perception Neuron motion capture suit we realised how much potential it has for stage and live events, bringing a completely new dimension to the way audiences can experience live performance. The setup is straightforward, there are no cameras or complex rigs involved and it's very reasonably priced - just strap it on to your stage performers, plug it in and see their motions translated to 3D"

Prolight + Sound will take place April 10th - 13th. Noitom will be located at Hall 4, Booth #B26. For more information about Prolight + Sound, please visit: https://pls.messefrankfurt.com/frankfurt/en.html.
