A patent‑pending, bolt‑on car motion system that unites robotics and Virtual Production to keep steering, rumble and background plates perfectly in sync.
Mo-Sys CarRig is a compact, computer‑controlled kit that mounts to almost any car and drives steering and rumble in perfect sync with video plates or LED backgrounds. CarRig brings Mo-Sys robotics and Virtual Production expertise directly into the vehicle to deliver more authentic, repeatable in-studio car motion.
The Problem it solves
Shooting convincing in-studio driving scenes has always been a compromise: background plates rarely match the steering wheel and vehicle motion as actors attempt to juggle performance with fake driving. This disconnect breaks immersion, forces multiple retakes and adds pressure to already tight schedules.
CarRig solves this by letting the computer guide the physicality of driving, empowering actors focus purely on the scene. The result is believable motion, fewer retakes and a smoother, more controlled workflow.
Key features
- Bolt‑on kit for almost any car
Lightweight hardware can be fitted quickly and shipped by courier for flexible deployment in studio or on location. - Computer‑controlled steering and rumble
Automated motion keeps the steering wheel, car body and background plates perfectly in sync, shot after shot. - Feed‑in with a game steering wheel
Design and refine the drive feel in a virtual 3D road scene, then play it back on the real car for consistent performance. - Pre‑production friendly workflow
Build and lock motion profiles ahead of the shoot to reduce rehearsal requirements and save valuable time on‑set. - Patent‑pending technology
Built on Mo-Sys’ expertise in robotics and Virtual Production, with a roadmap of expanding capabilities for vehicle‑based scenes.
Benefits for production
- CarRig drives so actors can deliver
Actors simply hold the steering wheel and focus on performance while the system delivers the correct steering and vibration cues automatically. - Perfect sync with video plates
CarRig’s computer‑controlled motion keeps the car’s behaviour precisely aligned with projected driving plates or LED content, enhancing realism and continuity. - Faster, more predictable shoot days
With motion profiles prepared in advance and repeatable on demand, productions reduce set‑up time and retakes, to capture more usable footage per day. - Seamless integration with Mo-Sys VP eco-system
CarRig complements existing Mo-Sys Virtual Production tools, from camera tracking to content serving, for a unified, end‑to‑end workflow.
