MRMC and Dimension drive volumetric video capture innovation forward with the introduction of the Polymotion Stage Truck
LONDON, Sept. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

In another world first, Mark Roberts Motion Control (MRMC - A Nikon Company) 
have today unveiled the Polymotion Stage Truck – the pinnacle of mobile 
volumetric video capture (3D video) technology.

The Polymotion Stage Truck is the world's first 3-in-1 mobile volumetric studio 
on wheels. Developed to support the time-sensitive content creation needs of 
broadcasters, sports personalities and creative agencies, this truly mobile 
platform is capable of shooting volumetric video, taking 3D stills and full 
avatar creation, anywhere in the world.

The mobile volumetric technology last month picked up the coveted SVG Sports TV 
Award 2020 for the Outstanding Production Achievement (Innovation). In 
partnership with Sky Sports, digital replicas of the world's top golfers were 
created for the purpose of never seen before swing analysis at the 148th Open. 
The judges said: "Combining volumetric capture and replay to great effect under 
difficult conditions, the judges felt that it was one of those innovations that 
make you wonder 'how did they do that?' This is definitely the kind of 
innovation that moves the industry forward." 

Speed and accuracy of deployment are key features for Polymotion Stage Truck. 
State-of-the-art hydraulic systems expand the trailer, effectively tripling its 
footprint to present a green screen capture room of 46m2 in size while 
automatic self-levelling hydraulics provide the stability that volumetric video 
capture demands.

Internally, the Polymotion Stage Truck has been designed for maximum 
flexibility and talent capture. In addition to the studio space, two fully 
climate-controlled multi-purpose rooms offer options for easy to access hair, 
makeup and wardrobe facilities, green rooms or even additional photo studios, 
delivering the full studio experience on location. Entrances and exits at both 
ends of the trailer allow the talent to quickly enter/exit the studio, ideal 
for capturing large groups of individuals, such as sports teams or an entire 
cast. The trailer also features a full preprocessing data centre for quick 
footage review allowing creative decisions to be made on the spot.

Sara Gamble, Head of Volumetric Solutions, stated: "With Stage Dome and Stage 
Truck we can go to any location to capture talent, supporting the industry by 
delivering creative content on site."

During the global pandemic the Polymotion Stage Truck is operating under 
'safe-shoot' conditions in accordance with Government and APA guidelines. 

Simon Windsor, Co-Founder and Joint Managing Director of Dimension, said: 
"These revolutionary mobile capture studios will enable new forms of virtual 
entertainment and content across sport, music, fashion and more. From Sky's 
Britannia VR to the War of the Worlds immersive experience, volumetric and 
real-time technologies are raising the bar for entertainment with new 
possibilities emerging every day."

The Polymotion Stage Truck, alongside the Polymotion Stage Dome, will change 
how volumetric video is captured across the entertainment and sports industries 
and deliver new opportunities for providing unique and immersive content.
