Optitrack at GDC 08

Post by digitizer »

My girlfriend was at the GDC (Game Development Conference) earlier today. She took a quick snapshot on her phone, of the Optitrack that was set up there.

I tell you, if they had been selling them on the spot I think I would have had to call her back with the credit card number.

Congrats to all the folks at NaturalPoint, it looks like your product is going to go far!

(Personally, I hope to go down to Moscone Center tomorrow and see the Optitrack in action, that is if I can escape from work for a quick hour or two.)

I made it over to the GDC yesterday.

Here are a few pics of the Optitrack setup. The guy we talked to was really cool and looked like he was having a good time showing people the equipment!


On the first one here, you can see a little bit of what is going on with the monitors. The ARENA plug-in is showing 3 different models which are being driven in real-time by the performer.

This second photo below is a good action shot of the performer, although the monitors are washed out!

the booth looks great guys. I think you need huge red arrow cutouts above each camera to point them out. They're completely upstaged by the rest of the booth :)
