It offers users improved efficiency and performance for games and film production, setting the standard for affordable, accessible and high-quality character realism. \n \nThe system is available as a standalone product or can be seamlessly integrated as part of a full Vicon motion capture workflow, opening up the performance capture market to a whole new range of potential customers. Its modular design gives users complete flexibility when dealing with the captured data. Users can take up to four high definition images and pass them either through Vicon's CaraPost software to automatically produce 3D points or their processing pipeline of choice to recreate the actor's performance on a computer generated model.\n \nBased on 30 years' motion capture experience, Vicon has developed Cara to be reliable, future proof and to offer unrivalled quality, enabling users to focus on the creative process rather than breaking shoot momentum with failed or aesthetically unacceptable visualisation.\n \nBen Guthrie, motion capture supervisor, Framestore, said:'Head mounted cameras are the way forward when it comes to large scale capture stages. Through Beta testing of Cara we've seen at Framestore that Vicon is an innovator in the industry.
