How does the Vicon system work?
This technique uses retroreflective markers that are tracked by infrared cameras. This technique does not require cameras except as a localization tool. Inertial sensors (sometimes known as IMUs) are worn by the subject and the data from the sensors is transmitted wirelessly to a computer or smart device.
What is Vicon motion capture?
Vicon Motion Capture System (54 Vicon V-16 Vantage) To capture multiple people interacting, sports activities, or human interactions with 3D scenes, we exploit marker-based motion capture (mocap). This technology captures human movement at high frame rate and our capture volume allows us flexible movements.
Where are Vicon cameras made?
North America
Vicon products are designed and assembled in North America and installed around the globe, in Fortune 500 companies, private and public institutions, in every type of industry. Our primary headquarters is located on Long Island, New York, about one hour east of New York City.
How much is a motion capture suit?
IMU-based mocap suits range from $500 – $10,000+, and camera-based systems start around $2000 on the lowest end, and usually cost upwards of $15,000. IMU-based systems are very portable and easy to set up, but at the cost of exact positional accuracy.

A Global Presence Vicon products are designed and assembled in North America and installed around the globe, in Fortune 500 companies, private and public institutions, in every type of industry. Our primary headquarters is located on Long Island, New York, about one hour east of New York City.
What is motion capture software?
Motion capture uses cameras to track the subtle movements of a subject wearing mocap markers. The data is then transferred to a computer equipped with the mocap software. The software processes the data and creates a virtual skeleton that moves with the subject in real-time.
Why do we calibrate Vicon?
The main purpose of the calibration stage is to create a relative 3D reference for each camera so that each camera has a its own reference in 3D space relative to the other cameras; in addition we reference the relative distances of the camera with the world origin as it is in the actual room.
