2d3 - the virtual interchangeable with the real

 

2d3 develop and deliver technology built on unrivalled vision science expertise. We can extract information using nothing more than images alone and create, recreate, manipulate, combine and enhance to bridge the space between the second and the third dimensions, between the virtual and the real.

Since 1999, 2d3 Ltd has supplied a range of computer vision products, all based on "3D from the moving image", mainly to the film and television production industries. The company's primary product, boujou, the world's leading automatic camera tracker, is now used by most film and video post-production companies to generate visual effects requiring accurate registration of real and virtual images. 2d3 also sells SteadyMove, the leading video stabilization plug-in for Adobe Premiere and After Effects.

In 2006, 2d3 established the Advanced Imaging Group. The group has developed a set of demonstrators covering a wide range of real-time and off-line computer vision capabilities for processing of aerial motion imagery. These demonstrators have generated widespread acclaim at international industry venues, including Farnborough International Airshow and AUVSI. As a result, 2d3 has already won contracts from UK MoD, with many more in prospect from industrial and government customers in Europe and US.

2d3 Ltd, 2d3, Inc & 2d3 Advanced Imaging are all wholly-owned subsidiaries of OMG plc, a company with a 23- year history of developing, manufacturing, and selling products for 3-dimensional tracking in medical, industrial, government, and defence markets. OMG exports over 80% of its sales with customers in over 50 countries. Since 2001, OMG has been listed on the London Stock Exchange and today employs 200 people in UK and US.
