OCELLUS camera tracking system

Precise, reliable camera tracking is critical to virtual production – which is why Sony is introducing its OCELLUS camera tracking system. The system comprises a sensor unit, processing box and lens encoder. Using five image sensors and Sony’s Visual SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology, OCELLUS enables stable marker-free tracking. Robust, accurate and simple to set-up, OCELLUS delivers a simpler, more efficient workflow.

Virtual Production Tool Set

Camera and Display Plugin for Unreal Engine and the Color Calibrator application improve the quality and creativity of virtual production. Now updated with new features.

Camera and Display Plugin for Unreal Engine

Perfect your films before you arrive on set

Our Virtual Production Tool Set is a unique solution to solve current pain points in virtual production and to support quality of In-Camera VFX. The Camera and Display Plugin for Unreal Engine lets you design the picture you need for your VENICE-powered virtual production, then save these settings in our Virtual VENICE for Unreal Engine. It includes a Moiré Alert feature for Pre-Visualisation and On-Set shooting that can detect moiré patterns that can not be seen by the naked eye. The Color Calibrator tool ensures that the colours you visualize before the shoot day match the colours that will appear in your dailies.
