  • Details of the New High-Speed Projector "DynaFlash"

DynaFlash (*1) is a new technology developed by the Ishikawa Watanabe Laboratory of The University of Tokyo.This state-of-the-art projector allows for filming at 1000 fps (1000 frames filmed every second), making it one of the fastest in the world. Combined with high-speed sensing technology, 3D mapping technology with highly precise depth measurement, and ultra high-speed 2D tracking technology with a delay of 10ms or less, the team created a mapping system that was able to track a highly intense performance that would have been impossible otherwise (*2).
