  • Publication number: 20240029761
    Abstract: A 3D camera tracking and live compositing system includes software and hardware integration and allows users to create, in conjunction with existing programs, live composite video. A video camera, a tracking sensor, encoder, a composite monitor, and a software engine and plugin receive video and data from and integrate it with existing programs to generate real time composite video. The composite feed can be viewed and manipulated by users while filming. Features include 3D masking, depth layering, teleporting, axis locking, motion scaling, and freeze tracking. A storyboarding archive can be used to quickly load scenes with the location, lighting setups, lens profiles and other settings associated with a saved a photo. The video camera's movements can be recorded with video to be later applied to other 3D digital assets in post-production. The system also allows users to load scenes based on a 3D data set created with LIDAR.

  • Publication number: 20130321168
    Abstract: The present invention provides system of active uniform and base station for sensing an aspect of the wearers environment or physiology. Active uniform (1) is comprised of uniform (3), electronic sensors (40) for sensing an aspect of the wearer's environment or of the wearer's physiology and an active tag (10). The system of active uniform (1) and base station (2) is used to collect data from wearers of the at least one item of active uniform which allows an assessment of the health of the wearer where said health assessment is subsequently used to enhance the survivability of the wearer. The active tag contains various components that allow it to communicate with the base station (2) including (i) sensor interface (80) for interfacing electronic sensors (40) to the active tag, (ii) a microcontroller (70), (iii) a data store (60) including flash memory, (iv) radio frequency interface (110), (v) at least one tag antenna (120) and (vi) a battery (100) and power management unit (90).
