Further strengthening CAST BlackTrax’s growing global network, DWP Live adds
BlackTrax real-time motion tracking solution to its range projection mapping
technology offering to corporate clients, agencies and designers.
Ben Ryle, Chief Technologist at DWP Live chimes: “I love BlackTrax’s plug and play
design as it fits seamlessly into our workflow. For example, we can place the BT
Beacons on a projection surface or performer, calibrate BT Cameras, build 3D
models using a media server and then take everything into a 3D environment – all
within minutes which is a valuable asset for live events working to increasingly tight
time scales.’
Ryle notes that BlackTrax can track a virtually unlimited amount of objects so large
or small projection surfaces can be moved in and out and off stage. “Traditionally,
introducing new pieces would be cumbersome and time consuming, especially with
tracking of performers or dancers. BlackTrax brings in a lot of creative freedom as
it adds this dynamic element without any stress. It saves time and removes
choreography time as everything works.’
The BlackTrax team provided hands-on in depth training to DWP Live on projection
mapping and tracking of performers and objects.
“With the inspirational training from the knowledgeable and friendly team –
BlackTrax is easy to learn and it’s about as straightforward it can be,’ says Justin
Crutchfield, Account Executive at DWP Live.
DWP Live will be introducing BlackTrax and expanding customer’s knowledge and
benefits using a demo system based around exploring interactive options. “One
thing we’re excited about, is what we’re going to do with it for our clients – watch
this space,’ adds Crutchfield.
“DWP’s team is so energetic and creative, I can’t wait to see their future projects
with BlackTrax, they will play a pivotal role in the next generation of projection
mapping,’ concludes Cameron Verstegen, BlackTrax Specialist and Trainer at CAST
BlackTrax.
