With over half of its Kickstarter campaign completed, the worlds smallest, adaptive and most affordable motion capture system has reached its funding goal and released news about its stretch goals.

Beijing, China September 02, 2014


Perception Neuron, the worlds smallest, adaptive and versatile wireless full-body motion capture system for virtual reality, motion capture and visual effects is proud to announce that it has surpassed its Kickstarter fundraising goal of $250,000 with over 800 backers. Perception Neuron has also been selected as a Kickstarter Staff Pick and placed in first position in the technology category on both Kicktraq.com and Kickspy.com.

"The first thing we want to do is thank all of our backers," exclaims Dr. Tristan Dai, Developer of Perception Neuron and co-founder of the company. "Building a project for people that actually care about the outcome and the process is so rewarding and motivating."

Two stretch goals have already been announced. At the $300,000 mark, backers will be able to choose between the Rumbler or the Shutter. The Shutter is a remote control that will allow the user to trigger an action remotely such as start/stop or time stamps. The Rumbler is a special component of the system with audible and vibration feedback. It is designed to provide a form of tactile feedback for VR interaction. Pledgers will get one Rumbler for every 10 Neurons backed.

A second stretch goal of $400,000 has also been released. At this mark, all the Perception Neuron hubs will be equipped with a local SD storage card hub allowing users to perform motion capture independent of a live computer connection. The backers will also be rewarded with a six month license to Perception Axis, a professional version of one of the included software with added features and plugins.

The Perception Neuron Kickstarter campaign ends on September 12, 2014.

uEye XC AUTOMATICALLY PERFECT IMAGES

Combining the ease of use of a webcam with the performance and reliability of an industrial camera? The uEye XC autofocus camera from IDS Imaging Development Systems proves that this is possible. Its high-resolution imaging, simple setup and adaptability make it an invaluable tool for improving quality control and streamlining workflows in industrial settings - especially for cases where users would normally employ a webcam. The uEye XC autofocus camera features a 13 MP onsemi sensor and supports two different protocols: USB3 Vision, which enables programmability and customization, and UVC (USB Video Class). The UVC functionality enables a single cable connection for easy setup and commissioning, while delivering high-resolution images and video. This makes the uEye XC camera an ideal option for applications that require quick setup and need to manage variable object distances. Additional features such as digital zoom, automatic white balance and color correction ensure precise detail capture, which is essential for quality control.
