Metal, wood, and paper products; chemicals; leather goods; foods and beverages; medical equipment; lighting fixtures; and , Calif. -- PhaseSpace Inc. (www.phasespace.com) returns to SIGGRAPH (Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics, www.siggraph.org) The arm of the ACM that specializes in computer graphics and interactive techniques. Providing publications, workshops and conferences, it has served technicians and researchers as well as the artist and business community 2005 with AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. and the Guerrilla Studio to show their newest high performance technology in motion capture in two very exciting and interactive demonstrations. At the AMD booth (#1732) PhaseSpace will showcase the Impulse: a 3600 x 3,600 resolution, 480 frames per second, high speed, high resolution optical motion capture system with up to 32 cameras. The PhaseSpace Impulse will be demonstrated on systems based on the AMD Athlon(TM) 64 X2 Dual Core processor See dual core. and Alias Mocap software, creating a powerful showcase of what a real time motion capture system can do. The Impulse is unique in that it uses a single AMD Athlon(TM) 64 X2 Dual Core processor-based computer to capture the data and can be run by one person, reducing overhead costs overhead costs see fixed costs. and increasing productivity while maintaining the data quality that active marker systems are famous for.

Personal PhaseSpace motion capture sessions will be offered again this year upstairs in the Guerrilla Studios demonstrating the exceptional productivity of this new technology, by letting participants use the system rather than just watching choreographed motions designed to make the system look good. Last year over 240 motion capture segments were done with SIGGRAPH attendees. SIGGRAPH attendees can sign-up now to reserve their own 15 minutes of fame in the PhaseSpace studio. The new PhaseSpace Impulse will be at work in the Guerrilla studio during the week of SIGGRAPH.
