Vicon Vicon has acquired Captive Devices Ltd, a Manchester, U.K.-based maker of head-mounted camera systems for markerless facial performance capture.
Vicon is the motion capture arm of Oxford Metrics. The founding team at Captive Devices has joined Vicon effective immediately.
Ninja Theory, Nant Studios, Animatrik and Deep Silver Dambuster Studios are among the studios that already rely on Captive Devices’ hardware and software to capture facial performance for visual effects, games and virtual production. Folding that technology into Vicon’s existing body-tracking systems gives the company an in-house offering that spans both facial and body capture, something it says no other vendor in the space currently provides.
