Barcelona, Spain — ISE 2026 — Miraxyz unveiled a high-end immersive experience at ISE 2026 in Barcelona, hosted on the OptiTrack booth. The installation demonstrated how complex immersive systems can be designed, synchronized, and deployed as a single, coherent pipeline.
The project was conceived not only as a live demonstration, but also as a transparent showcase of how immersive experiences are built, from motion capture acquisition to final visual output.
At the core of the experience was a body motion capture system powered by OptiTrack, combining markerless tracking with marker-based rigid bodies, running simultaneously thanks to OptiTrack’s duplex mode. This hybrid approach delivered both flexibility and precision within the same setup.
Real-time motion capture data was displayed live on a large LED wall, clearly visible to the audience. A broadcast layer was added through the use of a tracked camera positioned in front of the installation. This broadcast layer highlighted two complementary technologies working together:
- XR experience: the LED wall simulated a virtual production LED volume workflow. The content displayed on the LED wall was driven by the camera’s position, and from the camera’s point of view, the virtual environment extended seamlessly beyond the physical LED wall, creating a fully immersive background.
- AR extension set: virtual graphics were added in real time beyond the physical boundaries of the LED wall. This allowed AR elements to appear both inside and outside the LED volume, enabling seamless transitions between the LED wall and the studio stage. A 3D character could move naturally in and out of the LED volume.
Technical details
All 3D content was rendered using Unreal Engine, orchestrated by Aximmetry, with two synchronized render engines:
- one dedicated to the LED wall content (4 × 2.5 m, 2.6 mm pixel pitch from Planar, driven by a NovaStar MX30 processor)
- one dedicated to the augmented reality scene extension
To ensure flawless visual and spatial coherence, all devices were genlocked, guaranteeing perfect synchronization across tracking, rendering, and display systems.
Camera tracking data was streamed directly from a robotic dolly (Junior series) developed by Microfilms, enabling accurate, real-time camera positioning within the virtual environment.
Thanks to automation plugins developed for the Microfilms remote-controlled dolly and for Aximmetry render engines, the entire experience was fully automated and operated from a single control point.
All technologies were integrated and calibrated by Miraxyz, who led both the creative and technical direction of the project. Using the CalibFX® suite, Miraxyz implemented:
- precise camera lens calibration
- accurate spatial alignment of the dolly system relative to the LED wall, through advanced calibration workflows leveraging dedicated calibration patterns displayed directly on the LED wall
“This project demonstrates our ability to manage the full immersive pipeline and make complex systems work together seamlessly,” said Miraxyz. “ISE was the perfect venue to showcase not only the final result, but also the expertise behind it.”
ISE 2026 was also the opportunity for Miraxyz to unveil its new RigFX – OptiTrack Edition, a dedicated camera tracking hub. This new product enables an even easier and more seamless integration between Miraxyz’s expertise in camera and lens calibration and OptiTrack’s positional tracking solutions for virtual production.
Miraxyz extends its thanks to OptiTrack for hosting the installation and enabling open technical discussions with visitors throughout the show.
With this demonstration at ISE 2026, Miraxyz reinforces its position as a trusted partner for designing and delivering complex immersive experiences, from concept to execution.
