VITAL houses several different virtual technologies for use in a wide variety of projects.
Please note: We do not loan or rent out *any* of our equipment.
Our 1.8mm pixel pitch, 28’x10’ LED Wall is a real stunner. Powered by Planar TVF panels, the wall is designed to support video, photo, visualization and virtual production activities. The wall can be combined with the other virtual technologies to create highly engaging virtual experiences.
Our 25-camera OptiTrack Optical Motion Capture System covers a primary 22’x22’ area and is capable of capturing multiple performers at once. Capture can be recorded for later usage or can be integrated live with VR or the LED Wall.
In addition, our Rokoko Motion Capture Suit provides a more mobile solution with integrated hand and face capture.
Our virtual reality equipment currently consists of 6 Meta Quest 2’s with battery packs, one Meta Quest Pro, and the amazing Varjo XR-3.
Our video equipment is currently Video: Red Komodo, 35mm and 50mm prime cine lens, 24-70mm Sigma Zoom.
