General information:

The zLense platform is a real-time 3D scene scanning technology graphics engine rolled into a compact, standalone solution that can be integrated into most broadcast environments.

zLense is the world's first depth mapping camera. It is a unique digital lens add-on to professional broadcast and film cameras. The technology enables producers and filmmakers to utilise VR and AR effects in real time and recorded TV and video productions, both in studio and on location.

The zLense Virtual Production platform drastically lowers the cost of visual effects in film and TV productions. The technology is based on 1.5 years of R&D and IP that combines depth sensing (ToF sensor) technology and image processing into a standalone camera rig that captures the 3D scene and camera movement, eliminating costly match moving work, and streamlining the 3D compositing process. It opens up a host of new possibilities for filmmakers, enabling medium and low budget productions to employ VFX techniques currently available only to high budget film projects.

Based on the same platform we also develop a real time on-set previsualization product as well as a virtual studio solution for TV studios enabling virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) formats to be developed cost effectively.

zKey

Product category:

The zKey™ 3D Keying System is a turnkey solution for adding CGI layers in front of the talent, or between the foreground and background in real time. Both content streams (full HD video and depth image) are transmitted to the zKey appliance that outputs the alpha channel and mask with a delay of only 4 frames.

No special backgrounds or lighting are required.

This capability will revolutionize the creative potential of live productions while also speeding up and simplifying content creation.

The system is ideal for a wide range of virtual reality and augmented reality (VR and AR) applications.

zMed

Product category:

THE NEW GENERATION 3D MEDICAL SOLUTION

What is zMed?

▸3D imaging and visualization technology for unified visualization of medical data and reality

▸exceeds the current display limits

▸creates a completely new visualization mode

▸the unbound 3D viewpoint together with true-to-life rendering place the viewer into real AR, where real space can be extended with virtual objects

▸innovative demonstration technology that streamlines the current visualization of 2D or 3D imagery from a fixed point

In which medical fields is zMed adaptable?

▸▸ Medical education and training
It is of utmost importance that future physicians – together with the development of the technology – are encouraged to learn the latest methods that they will be able to actively use in their practice.

▸▸ To improve doctor-patient relationship
Explaining and visualizing the patient’s illness helps the doctor-patient communication and the patient to understand the problem more clearly.

▸▸ Surgical planning and preparation
In the pre-operative phase, it gives the doctors an even more accurate picture which reduces the surgical planning time and at the same time it contributes to a more precise design of each surgical procedure.

What are the benefits of zMed?

▸personalized visualization

▸detailed, fast, complex and real-time rendering

▸from an unbound point of real view we see virtual content in the “mixed reality” world

▸we can virtually look into the inside of the real objects

▸we can freely change the virtual content

zRec

Product category:

Video

zRec

▸ zRec is a solution to help on-site pre-visualisation, post-production, compositing with real-time recording of camera track, field of view and depth image data with the original RGB video. It is a versatile application not only for motion pictures production but for high-end episodic TV, OTT internet entertainment, commercials and daily television shows like sports, news, weather.

• Using its own container (.zRec) it helps editors, CGI artists to streamline workflows and get rid of repetitive tasks.

• Records RGB video in an .mxf wrapper simultaneously, which contains on-site previs or pre-rendered composited sequences in sync with the data in .zrec format.

• Our Unity3D plugin can import the EDL from the editing workstations showing the parts need to be changed and opens the .zrec data. Any animation can be modified, re- rendered and saved for further editing.

• zRec Exporter can take the depth map, camera track info, lens data and the original RGB video to advanced visual effects and motion graphics solutions where the final compositing happens.
