VIVE Mars CamTrack is a professional camera-tracking solution that brings SteamVR tracking into virtual production pipelines. It delivers accurate, low-latency camera position and lens data into real-time engines such as Unreal Engine using Live Link and FreeD protocols. The system is available in two configurations: Mars CamTrack (Base Kit) – a wired, compact setup ideal for smaller stages and fixed installations Mars CamTrack Studio Edition – a fully expanded, wireless system built for large sets, complex motion, and professional broadcast environments Both variants use the same Mars core system and software, ensuring consistent workflows while allowing studios to scale hardware based on production needs.
