Real-time Optical 3D Tracking

View our series of Rigid Body videos below.

The Rigid Body Toolkit is a robust, realtime 3D optical tracking solution.

Markers can be attached to multiple objects in known patterns (rigid bodies), allowing them to be tracked in full 6DOF (position and orientation). The Rigid Body Toolkit provide built-in multi-camera calibration and 3D point tracking which automatically hands off between cameras for maximum coverage.

See the Software Comparison Table for more details.

• Real-time Data Export: Built-in support for industry standard VRPN and Trackd protocols make integrating our real time tracking data with your applications a snap. The included network transport allows for convenient cross-platform communication.
  
  
• Simple Camera Calibration: Up to 16 cameras can be calibrated in capture volumes up to 400 square feet, with capture volume preview. Typical calibration time is under 5 minutes.
  
  
• Powerful Tools: Rigid bodies are easy to define and modify using our powerful visualization tools. Record and play back data to tune and repeatably verify your implementation.
  
  

Applications and Uses

• Biometric Analysis & Range of Motion Study
• Interactive 3D Visualization
• Industrial Automation

Need a larger tracking volume or more accuracy? Just add more cameras.

Rigid Body Toolkit notes:

• This software toolkit requires 3+ OptiTrack cameras, which are sold separately.
• A calibration square (ground plane), calibration wand, and retroreflective markers are also required; these items are not included.
• We recommend purchasing a Rigid Body Package (see right column, above) for a discount on all items needed for rigid body tracking.
• This toolkit is compatible with OptiTrack FLEX:C120, FLEX:V100, and SLIM:V100.
• All cameras used with the Rigid Body Toolkit must be of the same model type (i.e., all FLEX:V100 cameras or all SLIM:V100 cameras); mixed environments are not supported.
