Visual act has developed the 3D Flying System together with the Canadian stunt company Velocity Stunts. It is a computer controlled performer flying and camera movement system.

Dave Lane, President of the Velocity Stunts says: “This system will practically revolutionize the movie business. Many of the difficult and dangerous movements we stunts are doing will be easier and less dangerous to perform.”

The Visual act Stage Control System is designed to operate any type of intelligent machinery including fly systems, stage lifts and motorized wagons. Visual act 3D is an add-on module for Visual act’s Stage Control System. Visual Act 3D is at the forefront of an entirely new, groundbreaking concept in motion control. The designer’s only concern is the movement of the object, not the drives that move it.

Visual act 3D offers an interactive workspace for creating, commissioning, programming and operating 3D flying objects. Objects are created quickly and easily by selecting an object type and entering appropriate coordinates. Paths are created by dragging points on the screen. The operator can also choose to move an object with the 3D joysticks and create a path from the saved movement, either online or through simulation.

The system can operate winches capable of speeds of over 10 meters per second. Paths can be played back at low speeds and stopped at any point for camera or lighting adjustments. Several objects can be operated simultaneously, their motions synchronized or started at will. Teach-in allows the operator to move an object freely with the joysticks, using the resulting path as the basis of a new movement. Visual act 3D is the interface between creative thought and technical solutions.
