Light The Way.

Enter a new dimension of 3D tracking.

ABOUT ALBION

Meet ALBION: spatial reconstruction, tracking, and next-level interactivity.

With these superpowers, the ALBION media server helps you build fully integrated interactive visual media with the help of specialized cameras and optical markers.

Track widely. Beautifully.
Anywhere.

ALBION’s agile, high-performance tracking system works just as well in small spaces as large venues.

Specifically, it tracks our Copernics IR emitters in 3D at 240 Hz through infrared cameras to provide position, speed and acceleration vectors. Fitted on screens, costumes or props, these emitters give ALBION enough data to not only locate elements but also to detect their orientation and any changes in shape. That’s a thing of beauty.

Because it’s tailored to specific show conditions, ALBION’s tracking algorithm also allows for high fault tolerance. ALBION can filter out visual noise caused by lighting equipment or misaligned cameras, giving you a clear picture.

Calibrate simply.

ALBION effortlessly calibrates cameras and screens. After completing an instant, automatic calibration, it collects information to maintain perfect image alignment in real time—even when screens or projectors move. That’s efficiency.

Operate easily.

ALBION is not only a workhorse in providing stage positioning through motion capture techniques, it also serves as a dual-head video controller for PHOTON.

All of the PHOTON servers on a show behave as a single system listening to ALBION’s control data stream. Seamless and synched.
