Mobility Art Studios opens India's first Vicon motion capture facility

Oxford, England (October 1, 2007) VICON, developer of Academy Award®-winning motion capture systems, announced that Mobility Arts Studios, the first professional motion capture studio in India has purchased a VICON solution.

Mobility Art Studios is the only fully integrated performance capture studio in India and is among the largest motion capture service studios outside of North America. The studio is one of a handful in the world capable of offering full body, face and hands motion capture.

Mobility Art Studios is equipped with the latest VICON MX system equipped with 48 VICON F40 cameras. The new facility, based in Hyderabad with a second facility based in Mumbai, India, was designed to service India’s burgeoning CG animation production industry. With top technology, infrastructure and talent, Mobility Arts Studios is also well positioned to provide cost effective motion capture solutions to global clientele.

Nick Bolton, Chief Executive of Vicon commented, “To have Vicon involved in India’s first and only motion capture studio is fantastic news. We are proud Vicon has been chosen to be involved in such a ground-breaking project. Mobility Art have a very impressive studio and I look forward to seeing the excellent service work coming out of their facility.”

Recently opened, Mobility Art Studios is already working on gaming and film projects.
