AirPixel XT: Integrate AR and CG Elements Into Live Broadcasts With Seamless Motion Tracking

Here’s our latest test of AirPixel XT, our GPS-based camera tracking solution. We tracked the position and orientation of a wireless camera, transmitting this data along with the video feed via radio to a PC. There, Viz RT and Unreal Engine rendered 3D graphics in real time.

In this video we get to hear how Billy Cromarty from @girraphic - creaters of all the motion graphics - and Ben & Lee from @motionimposs got on using our equipment alongside thier own.

Motion Impossible joined us with their Agito, providing a mobile camera platform, while we also captured shots using a custom Cinelifter drone.

We simultaneously tracked a vehicle, enabling a graphic to follow its movement. Live data from the vehicle can be integrated into the graphics as well.

A huge thanks to GIRRAPHIC for creating the graphics and to Motion Impossible for supplying their excellent Agito system.

Our tracking solution is resilient to changing light or weather conditions and can be set up quickly, making it highly adaptable for various production environments.
