Follower by stYpe is an all-in-one talent and object tracking system for AR, VR, and XR production.
It allows broadcasters and filmmakers to track people, props, and cameras in real time, creating seamless interaction between the physical set and the virtual environment. With Follower, presenters no longer work around graphics; instead, they walk through them, use them, and interact naturally with AR elements.
How Follower Works
Follower uses ultra-light LED beacons, smaller than a fingernail. You can attach them to talent, props, or cameras. Infrared sensors capture precise position and orientation, and graphics respond instantly.
A simple prop can become a virtual object. A presenter can move in front of or behind graphics with clean occlusion. This level of interaction supports more natural storytelling than traditional tracking setups.
Why Choose Follower?
- Unified tracking: one solution for people, props, and cameras
- Scalable & flexible: from small setups to complex productions with hundreds of tracked targets
- Indoor & outdoor ready: works reliably even in bright sunlight
- Smooth post-production: export tracking data in FBX or XML with LTC timecode
- Engine compatibility: integrates with Unreal Engine, Unity, Vizrt, Brainstorm, and StypeLand
Rather than being limited to a single production style, Follower is built to adapt to a wide range of workflows, supporting both real-time interaction and recorded capture without changing tools or methodology.
Compared to traditional mocap systems, Follower is designed to support both broadcast and film workflows. It combines fast setup and minimal hardware with the precision and data quality expected in high-end production, whether the goal is live AR or controlled on-set mocap.
Proven in Action
Follower has already powered global productions such as Fallout (TV series), CBS, FOX NFL Sunday, BBC’s UEFA EURO 2024 studio, and Televisa. Broadcasters trust it to deliver stability in live conditions and filmmakers rely on it for flexible mocap workflows. In addition, Follower works seamlessly with RedSpy and Watcher X to create complete end-to-end tracking solutions.
Unlock Creative Freedom
With Follower, your production gains more than precise object tracking. It gains freedom of movement, creative interaction, and the ability to connect talent with graphics in a natural way. Therefore, it is the go-to solution for broadcasters, studios, and creators who need reliable object tracking for AR, VR, and XR productions.
