The Moment Vault installation in the Airside Hub of the Orlando International Airport's new Terminal C is a destination itself where passengers can walk through three monumental curved 2mm LED displays that form a circle.
The immersive real-time experience is made possible through Realmotion’s latest G32 real-time media servers and new Fusion tracking technology that instantly converts a subject’s motion into digital wireframes that are integrated into the onscreen content, providing delightful selfie-ready moments.
Our powerful new multi-GPU Fusion server uses six cameras to provide 3D marker-less tracking for up to 25 subjects within the confines of the Moment Vault. The real-time tracking system then transmits the data to three Realmotion G32 servers where it feeds into an Unreal Engine scene. This setup involves AI and machine learning to ensure accurate people tracking through the generation of a ‘3D pose estimate’ for each individual in the space. Each pose estimate is used to accurately place real-time virtual avatars in live digital content.
Existing pose estimate solutions were limited for the purposes of this project therefore we designed a new, proprietary system that utilizes the aforementioned six cameras to capture the space from different perspectives and eliminates occlusion.
This brings a new set of capabilities to location-based immersive environments by providing precise, responsive and robust 3D marker-less tracking for groups of users.
Furthermore, knowing that content designers need more than one tool to bring their visions to life, Realmotion provides support for industry-leading tools including Unreal engine, Smart Monkeys Inc.'s ISAAC, Unity, Notch, TouchDesigner and Realmotion Flow to enable ultimate flexibility for real-time interactive content creation.
To help prepare content developers, Realmotion also built a software emulator of the tracking system that allows creators to test and develop reactive content without requiring real-world subjects or displays.
