Burlington, VT - July 18, 2003 - Ascension Technology Corporation now flies qualified buyers to its headquarters in northern Vermont for onsite demonstrations of the active-optical ReActor 2 (R2�) motion tracker.
Ascension is the only company that manufactures both magnetic and optical motion capture systems for different applications and budgets. This summer, the company will demonstrate its magnetic MotionStar Wireless technology at SIGGRAPH while bringing potential ReActor buyers to Vermont for a more personal, customized demonstration. Ascension also welcomes prospective buyers to send their characters to Ascension ahead of time, so they can see their own characters in the demonstration of ReActor 2.
In Booth 2528 at SIGGRAPH, ReActor 2 will appear onscreen in a video exhibit showing the system�s set-up, operation and samples of work by ReActor clients. Ascension�s MotionStar Wireless� magnetic motion tracker will be featured onstage in three-performer motion capture demos.
�We are offering free airfare to qualified buyers, so they can see how R2 specifically serves their mocap needs. Once that happens, its advantages will be apparent,� explains Ascension Vice President Jack Scully.
R2 is the next generation of Ascension�s successful ReActor tracking system which introduced wireless, clean, lightweight infrared active-optical tracking to the mocap market.
R2�s 544 digital detectors are embedded in a 12-bar modular frame for complete tracking coverage. As with its predecessor, R2 offers Instant Marker Recognition to eliminate nearly all occlusion drop-outs. Robust, new algorithms improve accuracy, reduce noise and provide consistently clean data throughout the capture space.
Unlike other motion capture systems in which frequent calibrations and breakdowns are the norm, R2�s rugged, one-piece frame eliminates tripod alignment headaches and the need for camera calibration. Once the system is set up, data capture can begin immediately. R2�s FusionCore software provides complete diagnostics and real-time visualization of system parameters.
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.
