The UK Government’s @ministryofdefence has announced the development of the world’s first mobile quantum brain scanner in an exciting step forward for real-world brain imaging, particularly in understanding the effects of blast exposure and neurological injury.

It’s especially rewarding for us at Target3D to see this progress, having supported Cerca Magnetics at an earlier stage of their journey.

We worked with the team to provide @optitrack motion tracking for MEG brain scanning research, helping enable accurate data capture even when subjects move naturally - a key challenge in making brain scanning more practical beyond the lab.

👀 This is the first in a series of posts profiling the benefits of @optitrack - the motion capture system trusted worldwide for precision, reliability, and performance.

🎯 Accuracy that holds up

In motion capture, precision is not optional. OptiTrack systems provide sub-millimetre accuracy, whether in a compact studio or across a large multi-performer stage. The result is clean, reliable data that reduces time spent on corrections and ensures that movement is captured with fidelity.

That consistency is why OptiTrack is trusted in film, VFX, biomechanics, and robotics, where accuracy is critical to outcomes.

Discover how HERE: target3d.co.uk/optitrack

#OptiTrack #MotionCapture #VFX #Biomechanics #Robotics

📡 OptiTrack: Built for precision, built for reliability

What makes @optitrack a benchmark in motion capture?

🔹 Accuracy: sub-millimetre data, even with multiple performers.
🔹 Speed: ultra-low latency for VR, broadcast & live work.
🔹 Scalability: fits small studios or large capture volumes.
🔹 Integration: works seamlessly with @unrealengine, @unitytechnologies & analysis tools.

Recent improvements to cameras and algorithms have strengthened these core benefits but the real story is consistency. OptiTrack delivers clean, reliable data that studios and researchers can trust, every day.

🎬 Film & VFX - fewer corrections in post.
🎮 XR & games - smoother movement and interaction.
⚙️ Biomechanics & robotics - more accurate analysis.

For mocap specialists, that means less firefighting and more focus on the performance itself.

#OptiTrack #MotionCapture #VirtualProduction #XR #VFX #Biomechanics

From biomechanists to performance artists, game studios to NHS research teams, across Target3D and StudioT3D we’ve had the privilege of working with some truly innovative minds.

That includes brilliant collaborators like @centralfilmschool @hazdazzle and IC Theatre - each pushing boundaries in their own discipline.

Your creativity, curiosity and commitment push our work forward every single day.

Thank you for trusting us and for bringing motion, design and immersive technology to life in new and unexpected ways.

Why Movement Deserves Protection: In Conversation with Ashley Keeler.

Faces and voices get all the attention when we talk about digital replicas. But there is something just as unique that often goes unnoticed: how you move!

At StudioT3D, even if we mocap people and leave only skeletal data, we can still tell them apart instantly. Movement is identity. Motion is data. It is part of your likeness.

So why is it not protected? Why are buyouts for motion not standard in performance capture?

That needs to change.

ARCHIVE / PROJECT: Drop in the Ocean – Tribeca Film Festival 2019

What happens when you shrink to the size of plankton and enter a plastic bottle floating in the sea?

Drop in the Ocean, premiered at @tribeca in 2019, was an award-winning VR experience by @3d_vision3 and @conservationorg, brought to life with Target3D’s motion capture expertise.

From jellyfish swarms to fragile plankton clouds, every detail relied on performance capture to make the underwater world feel alive, immersive, and emotionally powerful.

It was VR as activism, raising awareness of plastic pollution and inspiring audiences worldwide.

Part of our Archive series, revisiting projects that push the boundaries of immersive performance and storytelling.

Who Owns Your Digital Double? In Conversation with Ashley Keeler.

If someone scans your face, records your voice, or captures your motion… who owns it?

It should be you.

But in reality, that’s not always the case.

With GenAI, deepfakes, and digital twin platforms exploding, there’s a race to define ownership. Without clear rules, we risk losing control of our own likeness and flooding the internet with low-quality “AI slop” that erodes trust in what’s real.

In my new StudioT3D blog, I explore the minefield of likeness rights and the urgent need for consent, control, and compensation for every performer.

Motion is You - In Conversation with Ashley Keeler

Everyone’s talking about protecting your face and voice...but what about the way you move?

We can spot someone in the studio just from their skeletal motion - it’s as unique as a fingerprint. Yet buyouts for motion capture aren’t standard, and your movement data can be taken, reused, and sold without you ever knowing.

I’ve unpacked why motion is part of your likeness and how we need to protect it - in my new journal piece for StudioT3D.

“You’re not just watching - you’re inside the experience.”

From installations that respond to audience presence, to performances shaped by real-time visual systems, the influence of gaming on the arts is both significant and expanding.

In a new Q+A with Target3D, Allan Rankin discusses how game engines like Unreal and Unity are being used to preview environments, test lighting, and even rehearse full performances virtually - all before a physical venue is even built!!

This approach allows for more collaborative and adaptive creative workflows, and it’s changing the way we think about performance, space, and audience participation.

How is gaming reshaping how we experience live events, theatre, and cultural spaces?

In our latest Q&A, Target3D MD Allan Rankin explores how tools like real-time game engines and 3D tracking are being adopted by sectors far beyond entertainment.

He explains how performers and audiences alike are now able to interact with their environment - triggering visuals, soundscapes, and spatial responses simply through movement or proximity.

From museums to stage performances, these tools are making experiences more immersive, intuitive, and emotionally impactful.

This is more than novelty - it’s about reframing the relationship between technology, environment, and storytelling.

Captury is an AI powered motion capture software that utilises existing @optitrack motion capture cameras, tracking people in the space without the need for motion capture suits.

Thanks to all who came to see the system in action!

For more information about upgrading to Markerless motion capture, turning your existing OptiTrack system Markerless capable or getting started with a motion capture lab, get in touch: sales@target3d.co.uk

In case you haven't heard, we also run Introduction to Motion Capture Performance Workshops at Advanced Media Production PROTO in Gateshead.

If you've been looking to learn acting for motion capture, whether new to it or a seasoned traditional actor, don’t travel all the way to London!

Our mocap and acting experts come to you, in an action packed two days, where you’ll actually leave with footage of your performance (raw footage AND from our OptiTrack motion capture software). 🎥

TARGET3D ARCHIVE.

🎭 Expanding the future of performance at ICTheatre Brighton (now @performerscollege) 🎬

We worked closely with ICTheatre to help shape a new kind of training space - one where motion capture and traditional performance go hand in hand.

Inside the newly developed Bird Studios, we designed and delivered a full mocap volume:

📍 10 x OptiTrack PrimeX 13 cameras
🎥 Performer suits + markers
🖥️ Custom mocap workstation

Our Curriculum Manager Ryan Mercier also built a dedicated 10-session module, giving students a practical and creative route into performance capture.

The module helped prepare artists for the digital environments - an important part of future performance skills.
