Modulo Pi takes interactive visual experiences to the next level with KineMotion

This new optical tracking module provides increased performance and reliability and is available as an option for the Modulo Kinetic range of media servers..

KineMotion is the new optical tracking module, designed by Pi Module to deliver high performance and reliability for next-generation creative and interactive visual experiences.

This module is available as an option for the Modulo Kinetic media server series, The all-in-one media server solution designed for more complex projects.

Designed by Modulo Pi, The KineMotion module is based on complementary software, beacons, as well as a calibration kit made of a rod and a square. Starting from KineMotion and OptiTrack tracking cameras, Kinetic Module dominates the entire calibration process.

Besides, combined with the capabilities of Modulo Kinetic (3D particle engine, editor nodal, timeline sequencer, …), KineMotion opens new opportunities in visual and interactive creations, such as projection onto moving objects, drawing and tracking particles, automatic tracking, light painting, etc.

The possibilities of tracking and interactivity are increased thanks to the extensive protocol support of Modulo Kinetic, as Art-Net, OSC, PosiStage, inter alia. KineMotion integrates an easy-to-use interface to quickly configure the tracking system; has ultra low latency, as well as high precision and accuracy for real-time video mapping of moving objects.

Thanks to fully automatic 3D calibration of video projectors and real-time 3D soft edge, Kinetic Modulo allows a seamless projection on an object that moves in front of multiple superimposed video projectors.

As Yannick Kohn points out, founder and CEO of Modulo Pi, “We have thought and designed Modulo Kinetic to be the cornerstone of the show workflow. We believe the all-in-one approach is key to reducing latency, “reduce complexity and offer unprecedented reliability”.

The development and availability of KineMotion means, as Konh emphasizes, “that we once again exceed the limits of our Modulo Kinetic series, which will continue to evolve towards greater real-time monitoring, interactivity and generative content”.
