VIRTUAL PRODUCTION
Sony Ocellus transforms virtual production by providing accurate, marker-free camera tracking for both LED volumes and green screen stages. Without the need for infrared markers, productions benefit from faster setup times, reduced on-set complexity, and a cleaner shooting environment. Eliminating markers also removes potential reflections on LED walls and prevents unwanted artefacts in green screen workflows, reducing the need for costly post-production corrections. The result is a more efficient production pipeline, greater creative freedom for camera movement, and seamless integration between physical and virtual worlds.
Extend Augmented Reality beyond the studio and into real-world environments with Sony Ocellus. Delivering accurate, marker-free tracking in sports stadiums, arenas, event venues, and outdoor locations, Ocellus enables broadcasters to place dynamic AR graphics directly into the live scene without the need for tracking markers or extensive infrastructure. AR elements remain precisely aligned with camera movement to create a compelling and immersive viewer experience. Rapid to deploy and highly portable, the system can move seamlessly between venues and productions, reducing setup time and operational complexity while maintaining the accuracy and reliability required for premium broadcast graphics in live sports and outside broadcast environments.

PREVIS
Accelerate creative decision-making with real-time previsualisation for film and high-end television productions. Sony Ocellus enables directors, cinematographers, and VFX teams to view composited virtual elements live on set, whether in the studio or on location, allowing creative and technical adjustments to be made immediately. Accurate tracking data is captured throughout the shoot, creating a seamless link between production and post-production while reducing costly revisions and helping teams deliver the final vision with greater confidence.
Streamline post-production workflows by capturing accurate tracking, camera motion, and lens metadata directly during production. Sony Ocellus records tracking data alongside match-move information, providing VFX and post-production teams with the precise data needed to accelerate compositing, camera tracking, and visual effects integration. With tracking data recorded as industry-standard FBX files, projects move seamlessly from production to post, saving time, improving accuracy, and helping teams deliver finished content more efficiently.
