FAQ's
What is the Vicon Valkyrie?
Vicon Valkyrie is Vicon’s flagship range of motion capture cameras, designed to deliver exceptional accuracy and performance across a wide variety of capture environments. Available in 6MP, 8MP, 16MP, and 26MP configurations, the Valkyrie range offers flexible options to suit everything from compact studio setups to large-scale, high-resolution capture volumes.
What are motion capture cameras used for?
Motion capture cameras are used to accurately record the movement of humans, animals, and physical objects within a controlled capture volume or laboratory environment. The captured data is then used to drive digital characters, analyze performance, and study movement in detail. Motion capture technology is widely applied across film and visual effects, games, sports performance, biomechanics research, robotics, and immersive experiences such as virtual and augmented reality.
Are Vicon Valkyrie cameras considered professional mocap cameras?
Yes. Vicon Valkyrie cameras are among the most advanced motion capture cameras available today. With four configurable options, the Valkyrie range supports a wide spectrum of users — from industry professionals running high-end capture volumes to those just starting out in their motion capture careers.
What makes Valkyrie different from other motion capture cameras?
Valkyrie motion capture cameras are engineered for uncompromising accuracy, scalability, and reliability. They combine ultra-high-resolution sensors with high frame rates to capture precise movement data, even in complex or large capture volumes.
