RealD Acquires Motion Image Processing Assets From Tessive

RealD, the industry leader of 3D technologies, announced an acquisition that will greatly modify motion capture viewing technology.  RealD acquired the technology and assets of Tessive, the recognized leader in motion image processing. RealD will use Tessive’s proprietary software to launch RealD TrueMotion, a new production tool that will have the ability to correct several major motion capture imperfections, including the “wagon wheel effect” - an optical illusion that makes a forward moving object appear to rotate in the opposite direction and motion choppiness often referred to as “judder”.

Directors and cinematographers who have adapted early releases of RealD TrueMotion Real D TrueMotion have endorsed the product's ability to enhance motion capture imagery.

“For over 10 years RealD has delivered state-of-the-art technology from capture to delivery in order to achieve the best visual experience possible for movie-going consumers. RealD TrueMotion perfectly complements existing RealD technologies that enhance the overall cinema experience,” said Michael V. Lewis, Founder and Chairman of RealD in a press release distributed July 13th, 2016.

In addition to RealD TrueMotion and RealD TrueImage, which removes defects, noise and artifacts in individual frames and enhances the crispness of the visual image, the company is currently introducing the Ultimate Screen™ to market. During CineEurope last month, exhibitors and studios endorsed the way the newly engineered screen technology raised the bar for the quality of presentation and the movie-going experience in both 2D and 3D.

As part of the acquisition, Tessive founder Tony Davis will join RealD as a Senior Scientist working in the company’s Research and Development division. Davis will continue to lead development of the software for a wide variety of potential uses including HDR and VR.
