VIVE Mars FIZTrack Now Available

HTC VIVE has announced that VIVE Mars FIZTrack, a new lens encoder for VIVE Mars CamTrack, is now available for order in select countries in North America, Europe, and APAC.

This technology allows the seamless sharing of camera lens "FIZ" data – Focus, Iris, and Zoom – between physical and virtual elements during film shoots. With VIVE Mars FIZTrack, filmmakers can pull focus, change zoom, adjust iris, and instantly apply those exact parameters to an Unreal Engine scene, ensuring perfect synchronisation of virtual elements like characters or background objects – thus achieving an unparalleled level of creative control.

"We couldn't be more thrilled to introduce our precise and affordable lens encoder on the anniversary of Mars CamTrack," said Raymond Pao, SVP Business Solutions at HTC VIVE. "This milestone reflects our dedication to listening and engaging with our community's needs. For many studios, this lens encoder is the missing link in their virtual production workflow, perfectly aligning with our core mission of making virtual production simple and accessible."
