Our tracking systems provide industry-leading level of accuracy in camera tracking and, since April 2019, also object & people tracking! In TV studios, our tracking technology is applied to bring highest level of Virtual and Augmented reality graphics to the set. In film studios, our systems are used to provide real-time previsualisations for scenes with virtual elements, and also to ease the post
processing efforts by capturing all data about movement of the camera, actors and chosen objects. We pride ourselves with three great tracking systems. Two of them are camera tracking systems - RedSpy & StypeKit - and we have a people & object tracking system in offer - Follower. About our camera tracking systems:If you are looking to add Virtual and Augmented reality effects to your TV shows, and are looking for a reliable camera-tracking system, look no further than RedSpy by stYpe. RedSpy uses an intelligent combination of infrared computer vision, accelerometer and gyro sensors to deliver tracking data of such high quality that it's almost impossible for human eye to find an imperfection. Whether you’re shooting indoors, outdoors; using cranes, steadicams or handheld cameras with heavy shaking, all these scenarios are handled – easily - by RedSpy. Wireless connection with the rendering engine is available, meaning your cameraman can truly be free of cables. RedSpy is currently used for camera-tracking on worldwide powerhouse TV stations such as the CNN, MTV, BBC, FOX, SKY and many others on a daily basis. The system integrates seamlessly with almost all rendering engines and can be directly linked with Unreal Engine via our Unreal plugin. You can learn more about RedSpy on this link:
www.stype.tv/RedSpy. StypeKit is a mechanical camera tracking system, which functions as an add-on for existing, ‘normal’ cranes. StypeKit turns even old cranes into modern Virtual & Augmented reality systems. As compared to our optical tracking system RedSpy, which uses floor or ceiling markers as reference, StypeKit is a fully mechanical system which needs no external reference, making it suitable for situations where placing markers is impractical. StypeKit is the product that originally made our brand “stYpe” known around the world, and for a good reason. It just works. Read more about StypeKit on this link:

Follower is our object & people tracking system launched in April 2019 at NAB Show where it won the award for Product of the Year. Follower detects hyper-accurate positional and orientational data of desired objects or people in the 3D environment, making it possible for you to overlay Virtual graphics using this data, essentially making your graphics come alive! Follower works when its LED beacons, smaller than a fingernail, are attached to objects or people. The LED signals are picked up by Follower's infrared cameras and its positional data is sent to the rendering engine of your choice. All sort of magic is then possible - swinging of a simple wooden stick can be turned into swinging of Thor's hammer! Find out more about Follower here:
