Animation Company Busty Kelp Breaks into Motion Capture with Inition
23 April 2008
When insanely talented animation company Busty Kelp decided it was time to add motion capture to their considerable range of skills, they contacted Inition for help in getting the right system.

Inition's Jeff Ferguson advised on latest developments in the field (independent of manufacturer hyperbole) and arranged suitable demos that resulted in them opting for the state-of-the-art Animazoo IGS-190 motion capture suit.

Paul Smith's Busty Kelp, which is associated with Aardman Animations, is showing off the first fruits of the IGS-190's realistic motion with a smashing character study of a Wood Imp, which can be viewed at Busty Kelp's website (click projects > Wood Imp).

3D Printing Open Day: Friday 28th March 2008
25 March 2008
Inition/ThingLab are to host a 3D printing open day at our London demo studio on Friday 28th March 2008. We will be demonstrating such cutting-edge solutions as the Mephisto 3D scanning engine, the InVision XT 3D Printer and Z Corporation's Zprinter 450, as well as a range of stereoscopic 3D displays and our MagicSymbol augmented reality technology.

3D printing technology enables 3D CAD designs to be ‘printed’ into physical 3-dimensional models. You can see examples of printed models here. If you would like to attend, please contact us to book a place. We are keeping the day informal, and as flexible as possible; you can come and leave as you like, but please let us know how many people will be attending.

The3DFirm Completes World First Live 3D Satellite Transmission
17 March 2008
On Saturday March 8th Inition, in conjunction with The 3D Firm, staged the world’s first live 3D screening of an international sporting event: the Six Nations Rugby match between Scotland and England. The match was beamed live from Scotland to a venue in West London in front of an invited audience of industry and press. A number of new 3D technologies were deployed at both the game and the screening venue.

The3DFirm worked with BBC Resources to produce the 3D transmission from 3 stereo camera positions which were sent via satellite to the London venue. More details here.

The3DFirm is a European-based alliance between Axis, Inition and Can Communicate, formed to provide a comprehensive solution for delivering high quality stereoscopic 3D experiences that entertain, influence and engage audiences.

Inition Create Virtual Injection Simulation for Botox
13 November 2006
Allergan, the company who make Botox, needed a simulator to allow doctors to experience injecting botox for treating muscle spasm. Inition worked with In Vivo communications to develop a PC-based haptic simulator to allow doctors to feel an accurate representation of the sensations involved in piercing the skin and the layers of muscle underneath. We printed out a custom attachment for a haptic device and designed a virtual 3D human bust with realistic muscle structure; our designs and devices were used at pharmaceutical exhibitions throughout the year, with enthusiastic reception from the experts in the field.
