INTRODUCTION

Follower is a revolutionary system that integrates camera, people and object tracking. It brings virtual

graphics to the real world by turning them almost into physical objects and resolves the long-lasting

problem of natural interference between the talent and graphics. Follower allows presenters to interact with

the graphics in various ways. The presenter can stand in front of the object by combining a people tracking

system with a greenscreen. More dynamic shots can be created by pushing, rotating, or changing the

position of the graphics in real time, live on set by using object tracking. It works by attaching LED beacons,

smaller than a fingernail, to objects or people whose position and orientation to be tracked or by attaching

hardware add-on called Spyder to your camera.

It is possible to use this system indoors as well as in bright sunshine outdoors which makes it perfectly

reliable in all of its many unique options.

01 TRACKABLES OVERVIEW

With the Follower system you can track different types of objects with different types of Follower modules

and trackers. Below you can see main differences in using and combining Follower trackers.

1 LED

Only 3D position is tracked.

TARGET

Mini beacon,

Receiver with

1 LED beacon,

Follower pen.

PRIMITIVE OBJECT

3D position and 3

different rotations are

tracked - Pan, Tilt and

Roll.

VIRTUAL CAMERA

Rigid object with 8 or 9 LED beacons

combined with gyroscopes and lens

data connection.

SPYDER MODULE8 or 9

LEDs

3D position and 3

different rotations are

tracked - Pan, Tilt and

Roll.

3 or more

LEDs VIRTUAL GRAPHICS

Any rigid object with 3 or more

LED beacons such as iPad tracker.

RIGID OBJECT 2

Usage example:

hold a car in a palm

of your hand.

Usage example:

High precision camera

tracking.

3D position and 2

different rotations are

tracked - Pan and Tilt.

2 LEDs VIRTUAL GRAPHICS

Any rigid object

with 2 LED beacons.

RIGID OBJECT 1

Usage example

transform 2 LED rigid object in to a mighty blade.

Usage example:

talent tracking, triggering

different effects, writing

through the air etc.
