Lighting and rigging manufacturer ETC presented a check for $27,405.58 to Behind the Scenes a charity that provides entertainment technology industry members who are ill or injured with grants that may be used for basic living and medical expenses. The check reflects the ongoing proceeds from sales of ETC’s iRFR and aRFR (Radio Focus Remote) application for iOS and Android devices.

“When we started this, we never imagined that the sale of this app could produce over $233,000 for such a great cause,” said David Lincecum, vice president of marketing. “An important part of the ETC culture is being of service to each other, especially in times of need. We are very humbled by the large impact this small app has produced for the members of our community who have needed a little help.”

“We are as amazed as ETC at what this app, developed by Chris Mizerak and Anders Ekvall, has been able to do for our colleagues in need who are so often in deseperate situations due to illness or injury,” said Rick Rudolph, chair of Behind the Scenes. “Even a little bit of help can change their whole outlook and give them hope for the future. ETC’s Pledge-a-Product donations have brought that hope to so many individuals.”

Vicon Introduces Mobile Mocap at SIGGRAPH

1
Motion capture systems developer Vicon is previewing a futuristic new “Mobile Mocap” technology at SIGGRAPH 2011 in Vancouver. Moving mocap out of the lab and into the field, Vicon's Mobile Mocap system taps several new technologies, many years in the making. At the heart of Mobile Mocap is a very small lipstick-sized camera that enables less obtrusive, more accurate facial animation data. The new cameras capture 720p (1280X720) footage at 60 frames per second. In addition, a powerful processing unit synchronizes, stores, and wirelessly transmits the data, all in a tiny wearable design.
