Arc Eye’s multi-camera system streamlines 3D scanning with direct network connectivity instead of relying on dozens of computers and complex synchronization. The facial scanning rig demonstrated at NAB 2025 connects cameras directly to a network, making it both expandable and reliable.

Camera Integration & Synchronization

The system currently integrates Sony's Alpha 9 III and LR1 cameras with perfect synchronization across up to 14 cameras simultaneously.

• All cameras connect directly to a single network rather than requiring multiple computers

• Camera settings can be changed across all devices at once through a unified interface

• The system captures both high-resolution reference frames and motion data at the same time

• Expandable by simply adding more network switches and cameras

Data Processing Flexibility

The system captures image data that can be processed through various pipelines depending on the intended output.

• Compatible with photogrammetry solutions like Reality Capture

• Works with newer technologies like Gaussian splats

• Outputs can be used for metahuman creation, VFX, and face replacement

• The data capture focuses on gathering high-quality source material for any processing workflow

Beyond Facial Capture

While currently configured for facial scanning, the platform scales to full-body scanning without changing the underlying architecture.

• Can be expanded to 360-degree coverage with additional cameras

• The unified control system remains the same regardless of scale

• Many researchers are currently developing motion capabilities for technologies like Gaussian splats
