Working with actors

Advanced features of cineDesk allow staging with real actors and thus an individualized and more sophisticated animation of the virtual characters. Such advanced features require motion capture systems (e.g. Rokoko, XSens, Optitrack, Vicon) as well as face tracking (e.g. iPhone / ARKit).

Intuitive camera handling

Instead of controlling the virtual camera on the touchscreen, a more intuitive way can be made available for the cameraperson. With the help of a position-tracked iPad, the virtual camera can be controlled as if it were a physical, hand-held camera.
