Showcase

LaserBIRD™ Optical Scanning Tracker

MotionStar Wireless2

A precise optical tracker for the most demanding tracking environments. Designed for head and object tracking in simulator, medical and 3D visualization applications.
laserBIRD 2 continuously scans the work space enabling its sensor to instantly sense emitted laser beams. Signals are then directed back to the scanner's DSP electronics for processing and output of position and orientation data to a host computer.

MotionStar Wireless 2 with new and improved Advanced DC Tracking Technology and our Environmental Analyzer, which we will loan to you, overcomes the metal, noise and accuracy problems that once plagued magnetic mocap. Use it to capture the full-body motions of as many as five performers in real time for multiple character interaction. Without occlusion or perceptible lag. No other motion-capture system in the world captures as many performers as quickly and accurately as MotionStar Wireless 2.
