Perception Neuron Brings Its Motion Capture and Immersive Virtual Reality Technology to Maker Faire and SVVR 2015

Making its first appearance at both Bay Area events this year, Perception Neuron by Noitom Ltd. will be showcasing its revolutionary motion capture tool.

San Jose, CA May 11, 2015


Perception Neuron, the worlds smallest, most adaptive, versatile and affordable motion capture system will be part of two major Bay Area events this week: Maker Faire taking place May 16 & 17 and SVVR —Silicon Valley Virtual Reality Conference—in San Jose May 18 & 19. During both events, the Perception Neuron team will have the chance to engage with inventors, hobbyists, developers, content creators and entrepreneurs throughout the technology and VR industries.

Noitom, the company behind Perception Neuron, has added Maker Faire and SVVR to the ongoing list of events that they have been participating in since last year. Fans of Perception Neuron have already had the opportunity to experience their immersive virtual reality technology at IndieCade, SIGGRAPH, and most recently, GDC in San Francisco.

"Perception Neuron is a very unique tool with a wide potential audience," explains Roch Nakajima, Americas/Europe Marketing Director at Noitom. "Maker Faire and SVVR both offer the opportunity to showcase our revolutionary motion capture platform to two distinct audiences. With the first, we have "tinkerers," inventors and wild artistic inventors, who might build giant remote flame throwing robots, while with the latter we have the global intelligentsia of virtual reality ready to take us into a future we have not even imagined."

Perception Neuron will be showcased as a guest at the Maker Faire VR Booth in the Fiesta Hall, Zone Three from 10am-8pm on Saturday, May 16th and from 10am-6pm on Sunday, May 17th at the San Mateo Event Center. They will be showcasing at SVVR on the expo floor, from 11am-6pm on Monday, May 18th and from 11am-3pm on Tuesday, May 19th at the San Jose Convention Center.

Perception Neuron is already shipping to its Kickstarter backers, and pre-orders are being taken on their website, http://www.neuronmocap.com. The game-changing motion capture system has been in high demand since its launch and is currently in back-order with earliest shipment available for August 2015. Prices start at $1499 ($1199 for educational pricing).

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
