Virtual Reality
Virtual reality
is one of the biggest game-changers to come to the technology industry in
recent years, especially when it comes to entertainment and simulated training.
While these virtual reality programs create mind-blowing 3D environments, the
user experience — and profitability of the product— depends on the camera and
sensor system that created it.
Most virtual
reality systems rely on motion tracking data captured from sensors on the
user's head and hands in order to generate an accurate picture in front of the
user's eyes, tricking their brain into believing they are in an alternate place.
With the camera on the outside looking in at the sensors on the user, a quick
head turn or marker occlusion is all it takes for the system to freeze and require
reload. In that split second, the user is thrown back into reality, most likely
with a mild case of vertigo.
Metria
Innovation’s single camera system works in cooperation with specialized moiré
phase tracking (MPT) markers provides uninterrupted and extremely accurate
results. This single-camera technology makes it possible for virtual reality
developers to use an inside-out approach where instead of the camera tracking
the user’s movement, the camera is on the user, tracking the movement of the
environment around them. No marker occlusion. No freezing. No vertigo.
Metria’s MPT
Series 2 camera system offers the virtual reality market:
- A lightweight and portable camera system that can
be used in any environment where measurement is needed
- Factory-calibrated cameras and markers to decrease
set up time and redefine the capabilities of on-location capture
- Image processing algorithm can detect markers in
noisy image spaces, indoors or outdoors, with natural or artificial light
- Highly accurate measurement of marker angular
orientation
- Continuous data streaming for up to 650 6DoF
measurements per second
