Ascension Announces Price Reduction During SIGGRAPH
Posted by: amigo
Source: Press Release
 Date: Wed Jul 16 2003
Burlington, VT -July 15, 2003 - Ascension Technology Corporation today announced special pricing on MotionStar Wireless� motion tracking packages to be available during SIGGRAPH 2003. Savings of almost $10,000 for a single performer and significantly higher for multi-performer systems are available.

The specially-priced packages includes 13 sensors, two Extended Range Transmitters, a sensor mounting kit for quick attachment of sensors to performers, and the use of an Ascension Environmental Analyzer Took Kit at no charge. Packages are priced according to the number of performers with systems configured for one to five performers. Ascension is offering free shipping within the United States and free installation anywhere in North America. Reduced rates for international installations will also be available during the limited time the show special is in effect.

Ascension will present 3-performer motion capture demonstrations of MotionStar Wireless on stage in Booth 2528 at the show. On screen in the booth, Ascension�s ReActor 2� active-optical tracker will be featured.

MotionStar Wireless is the one tracker capable of capturing the real-time motions of five performers without any occlusion. A six-degrees-of-freedom magnetic tracker, MotionStar Wireless now has improved algorithms presenting higher quality data. The system�s ability to track 78 dedicated data points-13 sensors measuring X, Y, Z, roll, pitch and yaw-exceeds that of the average optical system.

Breaking new ground with the simultaneous tracking of five performers for Sony Computer Entertainment�s The Getaway, MotionStar Wireless has maintained its position in the forefront of the motion capture industry. Productions by Antefilm�s Studios, RadioShack and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children are just a few of the many companies currently using MotionStar Wireless for mocap animation.

For more information about MotionStar Wireless and Ascension�s SIGGRAPH special pricing packages, visit Booth 2528 or call 800-321-6596.

Ascension Technology Corporation (Burlington, Vermont USA) develops motion tracking solutions for 3D computer-graphics applications in animation, military targeting systems, simulation, biomechanics and medical imaging.
