Naostage

At Smode Tech, the software editor of SMODE, we are constantly looking for ways to improve and enhance visual display capabilities of our software. We are proud to announce that we have partnered with Naostage, a startup company that develops an 100% beaconless tracking system called SYSTEM K. This integration allows our users to elevate their visual displays by incorporating real-time tracking information, resulting in a more interactive and engaging experience for audiences.

Naostage’s K SYSTEM is the world’s first automatic, beaconless 3D tracking system for fixed-installation and live touring AV professionals.

With K SYSTEM, our users no longer need to rely on traditional beacon-based tracking systems. Instead, they can utilize Naostage's advanced AI technology to track and display the movement of people (up to 16) and objects in real-time.

SMODE integration with K SYSTEM offers a unique advantage for anyone looking to create interactive installations, enhance live events, or add a new dimension to visual displays.
We invite you to try it out for yourself and experience the limitless possibilities it offers. We are excited to see the innovative and creative ways Smoders will utilize this technology.

K SYSTEM is a global solution constituted by :

• KAPTA : A sensor designed by Naostage and made of latest vision technologies.
• KORE : A computing unit that embeds a unique artificial intelligence and trained by "deep learning" on hundreds of shows.
• KRATOS : A complete user software to design your projects and manage interactions with audiovisual systems.

Through SMODE, Naostage's tracking data is fed and exploited, using the open protocol "PosiStageNet", resulting in a fully interactive and real-time visual experience with perfect synchronization.

Upgrade your performance to the next level with SYSTEM K.

K SYSTEM  Key features: 

• Real time tracking: the technology captures and transmits all position and speed data of performers on stage in real time and in 3D.

• Beaconless: No sensors, no beacon, no tags! No equipment on performers is required for tracking.

• Intelligent identification: The system can automatically identify each performer from one stage to another. Once tracked, each performer is recognized.
• Plug & Play: A fast and intuitive set-up: a single sensor rigged up allows the tracking of all performers.
• Scalability: A technology designed to adapt to all venues, indoors and outdoors.
• Accuracy & Reliability: Accuracy of tracking in the centimeter range for an optimal and reliable result. A technology designed for the stage and its complex environments.
