SuperNova — Active LED Tracking System

The Vicon SuperNova is a next-generation active LED tracking system designed for accurate tracking of props and objects in large, complex, and occluded environments. Built on the success of Vicon Nova, SuperNova offers improved active tracking performance for location-based VR, motion capture, immersive entertainment, virtual production, and real-time object tracking.

The system supports custom marker layouts, allowing users to position LEDs according to the size and shape of the prop being tracked. With 10 LEDs per kit, support for up to 25 LEDs, USB-powered operation, and compatibility with off-the-shelf USB battery packs, SuperNova provides a flexible and professional solution for advanced prop tracking workflows.

Designed specifically for static and portable props rather than direct body mounting, Vicon SuperNova helps deliver stable, high-quality tracking data in demanding motion capture and immersive VR environments.

Features:-

• Expanded 270-Degree Visibility: A newly developed wide-angle optical lens provides an exceptional 270-degree viewing angle, drastically reducing tracking dropouts caused by rapid object rotation or severe physical occlusions on set.
• Double the Tracking Range: Deliver rock-solid data at stable, continuous ranges of over 15 meters—nearly doubling the distance performance of previous generations to effortlessly cover expansive capture volumes.
• Zero-Sync, Always-On Efficiency: Because SuperNova operates on an always-on continuous illumination architecture rather than a strobing sequence, it requires absolutely no camera synchronization or complicated pairing protocols. Just power it on and start tracking.
