Vicon Nova — Active strand LED technology for prop and object tracking
The Vicon Nova is an active strand LED tracking solution designed for prop and object tracking in Vicon Origin location-based virtual reality environments. It enables active LED-based tracking for a wide range of prop shapes and sizes, making it ideal for immersive VR experiences, interactive entertainment spaces, and real-time motion tracking applications.
With a USB-powered design, 10 LEDs per kit, support for up to 25 LEDs, and an optical range of up to 8 m with Vicon Viper, Nova provides a flexible and efficient solution for tracking props and objects within professional Vicon systems. Its lightweight LED structure and adaptable mounting options make it suitable for VR arcades, simulation environments, virtual production, and motion capture prop integration.
Features:-
Efflicting Charging & Power: Powered via a standard, off-the-shelf USB battery pack, Nova drastically reduces operational complexity. The LBVR operator has one less proprietary battery to monitor, ensuring faster turnaround times and smoother arena management.
Universal Prop Compatibility: Designed with a flexible, modular form factor that can be quickly and easily added to a wide range of prop shapes, sizes, and weights without disrupting their balance or ergonomics.
Unbreakable Active Tracking: Powered by Vicon’s advanced active LED technology, Nova emits unique infrared strobing patterns that the Origin system identifies instantly. This drastically reduces occlusions and tracking dropouts, even in crowded, fast-paced environments.
Streamlined Workflow: Fully integrated with Vicon’s automated platform, Nova allows for rapid prop registration and deployment, ensuring your LBVR experience runs at peak efficiency.
