Virtual production is the latest thing in video at the moment, and it’s developing at a pretty rapid pace. While we’ve had motion tracking and compositing for years for virtual environments, it’s only in the last few years that we’re able to do it in real-time. And it’s only now that such technology is coming to the masses, allowing independent filmmakers and small production houses to take advantage of it.
While some systems can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, the Vive Mars CamTrack system (buy here) lets you do it for only a few thousand dollars. Despite the lower cost, it’s a very capable system. We stopped by the Vive booth at NAB 2013 to chat with marketing manager Tim Wen and learn more about the system and how it works.
