PROJECT ATLAS Array Productions
Front view of the assembled Project Atlas stereo beam-splitter rig

Five-axis stereoscopic camera platform

Precision stereo. Set in motion.

Project Atlas brings rig movement, optics, camera control, timecode, and positional metadata into one coordinated production system—built to make sophisticated stereo work practical on set.

01 / Front optical path

Five controlled axes. One coordinated image.

The rig is not a collection of isolated mechanisms. Tilt, height, roll, interaxial, and convergence work as one system around the optical path.

Designed to turn complex stereoscopic alignment into a repeatable production workflow.

The five-axis rig

A compact beam-splitter architecture designed around controlled movement and repeatable optical alignment.

Generic compact cinema camera model
Imaging

Camera-ready geometry

True-scale camera bodies and mounts make the digital system useful for real configuration work.

True-scale 28 millimetre cinema lens model
Optics

Lens-aware by design

Optical components share a common origin and scale so clearances can be understood before the physical build.

Exploded electronics board stack
Control architecture

The intelligence inside

Controller, driver, and power boards form a serviceable stack built to coordinate the moving system.

The proof is in the geometry.

Rotate and inspect the supplied Eclipse CAD model with reference-matched PBR finishes for anodized aluminum, powder-coated panels, carbon fiber, stainless hardware, and optical glass.

Working prototypeThe physical rig and prototype control app already exist.
Recorded contextTimecode and motor-position recording are part of current development.

Separate every board, then bring the complete stack together.

The detailed FBX contains three real assemblies—the controller, driver, and power boards—plus their modeled components, spacers, and fasteners. Use the controls to inspect the assembled stack or move through the exploded sequence.

Modeled hardwareFour layers of standoffs and fasteners travel with the exploded sequence.
True scaleThe original FBX dimensions and component geometry are preserved.

The physical and digital systems belong together.

Mechanics, optics, electronics, software control, timecode, and motor-position metadata are being developed as one stereo-production platform—not separate accessories.

Optical reference

From mechanical geometry to the intended shot.

The next model passes can add named components, axis movement, and separate exploded mechanical and electronics views.

Physical rig control remains private and authenticated.
