Free to download and available now for iOS and Android, MassMarker allows users to track and interact with any mobile device on set.
New York-based visual effects studio MassMarket has released a new motion tracking app -- MassMarker -- aimed at helping VFX Supervisors deliver creative solutions on the fly.
Free to download and available now on iTunes for iOS and on the Google Play Store for Android, MassMarker allows users to track and interact with any mobile device on set, featuring Scalable Markers, Custom Backgrounds and Gesture Recording.
“The idea for MassMarker was born while we were on a shoot,” said MassMarket software developer Andrew Cohen. “The apps available didn’t provide us the amount of control we wanted in a real production environment. They all had some kind of limitation. So we started working on our own, and built it to have as few boundaries as possible.”
MassMarket has already used the MassMarker app on three separate projects, to overwhelming response. Of the app’s tailor-made features, the Gesture Recording function has been the most coveted and by far the most revolutionary.
“No other motion tracking app lets you save and record your gestures,” added Cohen. “MassMarker will track any movement exactly, allow you to store the motion, and then play it back to assist during performance and interaction.”
