Oxford Metrics plc (LSE: OMG), the smart sensing
software company servicing life sciences, entertainment, and
engineering markets, is pleased to announce that Vicon, a world
leader in motion measurement, has won a contract with Digital
Kinetics, to deploy Vicon’s world-leading Valkyrie solution in
combination with Vicon’s proven Shōgun software platform.
Based in Zagreb, Digital Kinetics’ motion
capture stage boasts 300 square metres of studio space and is now
fully equipped with 24 Vicon Valkyrie 26MP cameras to ensure the
highest quality capturing results for its growing client list
across the gaming and film industries. With the combination of the
Valkyrie cameras and Shōgun, Digital Kinetics can offer services
right across the production process. The new stage is fully capable
of delivering the very best motion capture and virtual production

Launched in 2022, the VK26 is the flagship model
of the Valkyrie range, offering 26MP resolution across an amazing
field of view. It has been specifically designed for highly
demanding applications, including full body and high-resolution
finger performance capture, virtual production, and In-Camera VFX
(ICVFX) for AAA films and games.
Veselin
Krstovski, Mocap Producer at Digital
Kinetics, said: “As a new, but rapidly growing studio,
having the latest technology is vital to us. It allows us to
address more complex projects, opening lots of new opportunities
for our business. I don’t think there is anything that we can’t do
with the Vicon system – it tracks our actors in incredible detail,
produces exceptionally clean data, and the support from Vicon is
second to none.”
Nick Bolton, CEO of Oxford Metrics
said: “As the visual effects sector continues to push the
boundaries of what is possible in motion capture, increasingly,
filmmakers and game designers need technologies that truly sense
and capture every dimension of their subjects more accurately to
real life. With Valkyrie and Shōgun, Digital Kinetics is offering
truly state-of-the-art services from day one. Demonstrating the
advantages of innovative technology like Valkyrie, Digital Kinetics
have already reported lightning quick production times – which is
enabling them to rapidly meet their client demands. We wish the
team luck and look forward to seeing what they achieve as one of
our first Valkyrie users.”
