By using a lightweight sensor bar that attaches to the camera, the solution tracks natural markers in the environment, allowing the camera to move freely at all times in any location. The multi-sensor device generates a continuous stream of extremely precise positional and rotational information that can feed all industry-standard graphics engines. The solution is also incredibly flexible, permitting any camera rig to be outfitted with its sensor bar.

We're delighted to be recognised by The Advanced Imaging Society for technical achievement. My thanks go out to all our customers who have believed in us and embraced our technology and the incredibly talented team which makes Ncam such an amazing company, said Nic Hatch, CEO of Ncam.
