Vicon contract win

 

 Contract secured with motion capture specialists, Digital Kinetics

 

Vicon's latest flagship Valkyrie solution and proven Shōgun software to power
Croatian motion capture studio

 

Oxford Metrics plc (LSE: OMG), the smart sensing software company servicing
life sciences, entertainment, and engineering markets, is pleased to announce
that Vicon, a world leader in motion measurement, has won a contract with
Digital Kinetics, to deploy Vicon's world-leading Valkyrie solution in
combination with Vicon's proven Shōgun software platform.

 

Based in Zagreb, Digital Kinetics' motion capture stage boasts 300 square
metres of studio space and is now fully equipped with 24 Vicon Valkyrie 26MP
cameras to ensure the highest quality capturing results for its growing client
list across the gaming and film industries. With the combination of the
Valkyrie cameras and Shōgun, Digital Kinetics can offer services right across
the production process. The new stage is fully capable of delivering the very
best motion capture and virtual production services, available to both the
local and international entertainment industries.

 

Launched in 2022, the VK26 is the flagship model of the Valkyrie range,
offering 26MP resolution across an amazing field of view. It has been
specifically designed for highly demanding applications, including full body
and high-resolution finger performance capture, virtual production, and
In-Camera VFX (ICVFX) for AAA films and games.

 

Veselin Krstovski, Mocap Producer at Digital Kinetics, said: "As a new, but
rapidly growing studio, having the latest technology is vital to us. It allows
us to address more complex projects, opening lots of new opportunities for our
business. I don't think there is anything that we can't do with the Vicon
system - it tracks our actors in incredible detail, produces exceptionally
clean data, and the support from Vicon is second to none."

 

Nick Bolton, CEO of Oxford Metrics said: "As the visual effects sector
continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in motion capture,
increasingly, filmmakers and game designers need technologies that truly sense
and capture every dimension of their subjects more accurately to real life.
With Valkyrie and Shōgun, Digital Kinetics is offering truly state-of-the-art
services from day one. Demonstrating the advantages of innovative technology
like Valkyrie, Digital Kinetics have already reported lightning quick
production times - which is enabling them to rapidly meet their client
demands. We wish the team luck and look forward to seeing what they achieve as
one of our first Valkyrie users."
