Digital cinema innovator showcasing its game-changing Mobius POV helmet rig and other leading solutions at world’s largest VR expo

LOS ANGELES (January 20, 2016) – Radiant Images, an award-winning rental house and hub of digital cinema innovation, is bringing its A-game to Saturday’s VRLA Winter Expo, highlighted by the first-of-its-kind Mobius POV helmet rig and its other leading VR creations and solutions.

The custom-built Mobius POV is the first camera system for virtual reality that is able to place the viewer into the body of a character, a perspective that enables them to see the hands, arms and body of the performer wearing the helmet. The 17-camera system opens new possibilities for VR storytelling and creates new opportunities for stunning action scenes.

In addition to the Mobius, Radiant’s booth (#25) will include demonstrations of its Headcase Cinema Quality VR rig, the VRLIVE live streaming network, live VR monitoring capabilities for GoPro rigs, and custom VR power and mobility solutions.

The VRLA Winter Expo, the world’s largest VR expo, is set for Saturday (Jan. 23) at the LA Convention Center with VIP entrance 11-1 p.m. and GA entrance 1-7 p.m. The event brings together the latest in virtual reality and immersive technology from the leading companies in the industry.  

Already known for its award-winning R&D efforts in digital cinema camera technology, Radiant Images is now focused on VR development and testing to help filmmakers and camera operators capture 360-degree content in a compelling way. The company utilizes an in-house engineering team and rapid prototype capabilities to provide filmmakers with the latest virtual reality tools and creative solutions.

“The collaborative spirit is what drives us,” said Michael Mansouri, VP at Radiant Images. “Our specialty is helping filmmakers achieve their vision by overcoming roadblocks and challenges.  VR presents a whole new set of challenges and we’ve been fully immersed in this technology for quite awhile. We’re excited to be able to show people the latest creative solutions we’ve found and how we’ve been able to move VR forward.”

For virtual reality producers, Radiant’s Mobius POV helmet rig is a game changer. The 17 cameras are placed strategically around the performer’s head, capturing images from all directions and also providing alternate perspectives of the performer, which are invaluable during the post-production stitching process. The system encircles the head but is supported by the shoulders, making it comfortable for extended periods and providing a stable base for image capture.

Technical features of the Mobius VR rig include an integrated power system that powers all the cameras from one body-worn battery, and binaural microphones that capture directional sound to enhance the VR experience. An inertial measurement unit can be added to the system to provide attitude information to post-production.

Other Radiant creations and solutions available on Saturday include:
