Oxford Metrics plc (LSE: OMG), the international software

leader in motion measurement, has secured a new contract with
Dimension Studios , a leader in volumetric content and virtual

around the world and is the first Microsoft Mixed Reality Capture
studio partner. Under the contract, Dimension Studio will be
equipped with 56 of Vicon's Vantage cameras and Vicon's Sh gun
software enabling Dimension Studio production to turn creative
visions into reality by offering ground-breaking virtual production
capabilities including in-camera VFX (ICVFX) and Simulcam.
Vicon's tracking, of both rigid and full body subjects, will be
used alongside Dimension Studio's volumetric and real-time
development capabilities by leading visual effects company DNEG for
several high-profile virtual production projects - including a
major motion picture and a 10-hour TV series.
Steve Jelley, Joint CEO of Dimension Studios, said : "We pride
ourselves on providing our customers with the best possible virtual
production experiences across virtual art and on-set services, and
in particular managing and operating complex technology stacks to
display high quality real-time virtual scenes on LED walls or
successfully integrating solutions such as Simulcam into film
production.
Our work requires the right motion capture technology. It must
not only deliver the highest accuracy and performance, but also
provide a diverse range of capabilities across the whole virtual
production pipeline, including ICVFX and Simulcam. With extensive
experience in VFX and motion capture technology, Vicon's
industry-leading solutions enable us to support partners like DNEG
in pushing the boundaries of entertainment and bringing their
creative ideas to life."
Nick Bolton, CEO of Oxford Metrics, said: "The demand for
virtual production continues to build momentum, accelerated by the
pandemic. By merging the physical and virtual worlds, virtual
production enables directors and actors to see near-final quality
shots on set and in real-time. This win will combine the latest in
VFX motion capture and real-time volumetric content development,
allowing Vicon and Dimension Studios to transform filmmaking and
virtual entertainment. Filmmakers and animators can now produce
content that's efficient, authentic and visually stunning. Virtual
production truly is the future of film and television."
