With this new features, the tool aims to boosting virtual production for creative freedom and viewer engagement

Pixotope Fly, the real-time virtual production software platform, has introduced a new feature: industry-first zoom capabilities for its through-the-lens (TTL) camera tracking software, Pixotope Tracking – Fly Edition (Pixotope Fly).

As the company explains, this solution addresses the limitations of fixed lens positions on drones and cameras, offering the ability to achieve dynamic shot compositions for augmented reality (AR), extended reality (XR), and virtual studio (VS) workflows. The enhanced zoom feature offers simplicity during live broadcast events, whether in indoor, outdoor, or studio settings, facilitating content quality and production efficiency without physically moving the camera.

Pixotope Fly is an out-of-the-box tracking solution for incorporating AR graphics in various environments. The TTL tracking solution utilizes computer vision technology, relying on visual feature points like geological formations, tree patterns, or architectural details to anchor AR graphics dynamically.

Besides, according to Pixotope, the dynamic zoom capabilities of Pixotope Fly offer several benefits for virtual production adoption, as an enhanced experience for viewers and operators and expanded flexibility for creators.
