Liard NP joins hands with Oregon State University to open a new chapter in industry-university-resea

At a time when science and technology are developing rapidly, industry-university-research cooperation has become an important engine for promoting technological progress and industrial upgrading. Recently, NaturalPoint (referred to as NP Company), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lyard Group, relied on its deep accumulation in the field of motion capture technology to reach a long-term strategic cooperation with the Oregon State University Engineering Research Institute. Both parties will rely on their respective advantages, integrate cutting-edge scientific and technological resources, accelerate product and technology iteration through a collaborative innovation model of industry-university-research, and help the efficient transformation of academic achievements into commercial applications.

As a prestigious R1-level research university, Oregon State University has excellent research strength and rich academic resources in cutting-edge scientific and technological fields such as robotics, artificial intelligence, and biomechanics. Liard NP is famous around the world for its independently developed OptiTrack system. This system is widely used in many fields such as film and television production, game development, virtual reality, and sports scientific research, and has high-precision and high-stability motion capture capabilities. Geographical proximity builds a convenient bridge for in-depth cooperation between the two parties and promotes the efficient flow of information, talents and resources.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the Huang Renxun and his wife donated the Huang Renxun and his wife to their alma mater, Oregon State University, to build the" Huang Renxun and his wife", which will become the core platform for cooperation between the two parties. The center brings together the world's top scientific research talents and innovative concepts. Its cutting-edge research results will be deeply integrated with Liard NP's OptiTrack Motive platform and its own laboratory. It is expected to spawn breakthrough innovations in multiple fields and provide both parties with a new opportunity. Seize the lead in global scientific and technological competition.
This cooperation has far-reaching strategic significance. Through in-depth cooperation with Oregon State University, Liard NP has deeply integrated its advanced motion capture technology into the education and training system of next-generation robotics, artificial intelligence, biomechanics and virtual production professionals. This will not only help cultivate more professionals with cutting-edge technologies, but will also create a series of application cases with demonstration effects for Liard NP in the fields of sports, scientific research and public infrastructure, further expanding its technology application boundaries.

At the beginning of cooperation, the two sides quickly launched substantive actions. Liard NP's Motive software platform is the first to launch version 1.1.0 of the mixer plug-in that combines bone tracking functions. It has created a Motive style joint analysis application tailored for senior projects at Oregon State University's School of Engineering, greatly improving the project's technical level and innovative capabilities. At the same time, Liard NP actively fulfills its social responsibilities and organizes vocational internship programs for students to help them accumulate valuable practical experience in the industry. Currently, the intern program of the MECOP School of Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Engineering is advancing in an orderly manner, covering MediaPipe-based unmarked face/head pose tracking, real-time SLAM/EKF-SLAM tracking from the inside out, and multiple cutting-edge technology directions such as precise location VR demonstration collaboration. Liard NP also plans to provide more challenging student project proposals for the 2025 - 2026 academic year to continue to stimulate students 'innovative thinking and practical abilities.

This in-depth cooperation with Oregon State University is a major leap forward for Liard NP on the road of integration of industry, academia and research, marking that the company has entered a new stage in technological innovation and talent training. Looking to the future, Liard NP will join hands with Oregon State University to continue to explore the infinite potential of cutting-edge technology, inject a steady stream of innovative vitality into the development of the industry, contribute solid strength to cultivating future scientific and technological leaders, and jointly write a new chapter in the coordinated development of science and technology.
