Rigid Body Toolkit
Real-time Optical 3D Tracking

View our new series of Rigid Body videos below.![]() |
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 provides 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.
