EVOKE
Evoke 1.7 is now available!
Autonomous tracking software that maximizes VR uptime
Evoke is the bridge between Vicon’s cameras and our customers’ VR experiences, making Origin a highly-autonomous end-to-end motion capture solution for virtual reality. Every element of the system is designed to maximize uptime, participant throughput and revenue while making Origin quick and intuitive to use.
During operation, Evoke maximizes system uptime with real-time system auto-heal that recalibrates misaligned cameras, allowing uninterrupted sessions without constant operator interventions.
At set-up, Evoke minimizes the time it takes to begin a session by automatically assigning LED clusters to character limbs, enabling rapid participant turnaround.
Behind the scenes, Evoke seamlessly integrates with Unreal Engine and Unity to enable third-party developers to smoothly connect Origin data with their own applications.

Technical information
What is the recommended PC specification to run my Vicon Evoke System?
How do I set up my network card?
1. Open the Network and Sharing Center and navigate to Change Adapter Settings. Vicon Vantage/Vero cameras are designated to one port. For each Vue (or Bonita Video) camera connected, there will be additional network port used.
2. Right click on the proper port and go into the Properties. The Local Area Connection Properties window will open. Make sure only Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) is selected.
3. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) from the list and select Properties to assign the proper IP address.
a .Vantage/Vero cameras will have the following IP Address: 192.168.10.1 and Subnet Mask of: 255.255.255.0
b. The first VUE camera will have the following IP Address: 192.168.10.2 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0
c. Any additional VUE cameras the last IP value is incrementally increased by one. For example, the second VUE camera will be 192.168.10.3.
Select OK to close out of the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties. And OK again to close out of the Local Area Connection Properties. This will make sure all changes have been saved.
4. Feel free to rename the network port so it is easily identifiable. Such as ViconMX, VUE1 or VUE2
