Teatro Liceu will debut motion tracking technology applied to the performing arts

The so-called Intelligent Tracking with d3 Technologies software and BlackTrax is based on an effective system for tracking the movement of people or objects, with video tracking (position and rotation) 3D and 6D that works in real time.

The technological solution for real-time tracking of Cast Software, called BlackTrax, Delivers Precision 3D and 6D Streaming to Robotic Automated Controllers, specially developed for application in events and entertainment spaces, just as has happened with its deployment in the Lyceum Theater from Barcelona.

This system uses a patented IR to deliver dynamic streaming data: a sensor that is placed on mobile bodies that is combined with the advanced interactive technology of d3 Technologies for show business, that allows images to be projected (video mapping, 3D, still images, visual effects, etc.) on a moving set.

D3 Technologies has developed this software capable of adjusting the projection in real time to the imbalances caused by movement, which gives the viewer a sensation of a 'live' set, as recently shown in this theater in the conferences organized by the Malaga audiovisual company The Nation WOW.

The first time that this technology applied to the performing arts in Spain will be truly tested will be at the Gran Teatro del Liceu with 'Don Giovanni', which will premiere in Barcelona next 19 June, produced by the Royal Opera House – Covent Garden, the Great Theater of the Liceu, la Houston Grand Opera y The Israeli Opera.

'Don Giovanni' is the first opera that manages to cover an entire set with just one projector and correct each part of the projection in real time according to the movement.. Due to the laborious decoration of the production, full of windows, doors and different elements, a technology capable of adapting to all these details is required, correcting each part in real time, something until now unthinkable with a single video and projector.

Precisely The Nation WOW has been the first company to use Intelligent Video Tracking technology in Spain with d3 Technologies and BlackTrax, when he used the media servers of the first in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, where an impressive animation was projected on a complex façade.
