The Camera Calibration Tool captures images to generate calibration data that you can import into your virtual production engine to calibrate your camera.

If you haven't downloaded the Camera Calibration Tool, visit www.vive.com/mars/cct.

  1. Attach a Rover module to your camera, with the front side of Rover parallel to the camera lens.

    Note: The internal screw thread on the bottom of Rover has a depth of 5.5 mm. To avoid damaging Rover or your camera during installation, make sure the exterior screw thread on your camera is no longer than 4.5 mm.
