Polecam released this test footage demonstrating a newly re-designed FishFace waterproof housing on the end of a Polecam remote head jib arm outfitted with an Antelope PICO Ultra Slow Motion minicam. The combination now allows Polecam operators to shoot aquatic sports in HD ultra-slow motion from viewpoints above and below water level. This opens up new opportunities not only for sports viewing but also for natural history and industrial applications too.

The FishFace system was developed for the 2000 Sydney Olympics for a new view on swimming and diving. Since then it has become a standard tool for major aquatic events. Now by adding the Antelope PICO into a re-designed housing to attach to the standard FishFace, ultra-motion shots at 350fps can now be achieved.

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.
