Perception Neuron's Virtual Reality Motion Capture System Sails past its $250,000 Kickstarter Goal and announces Stretch Goals
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.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
