Motion4u is using OptiTrack cameras and the Point Cloud toolkit to create a wide variety of interesting applications and tools.
With OptiBurst™ for Maya®, any mouse can be enhanced into a 6DOF input device. Then you can use intuitive movment to effortlessly synthesize 3D animation curves; apply natural motions to objects; position 3D light sources, frame a camera view, or rough in object into positions. Just lift up the mouse and the BurstMode™ is activated. No other mode switching or script execution is necessary.

As part of the 2006 World Cup, SIA Interactive developed a virtual championship tournament for Coca-Cola. OptiTrack cameras were used to capture the motion of players and allow them to interact with the virtual soccer ball.
SIA Interactive also used OptiTrack cameras to develop a virtual penalty game used on a broadcast TV show by Lionel Messi, Barcelona soccer superstar.
NaturalPoint worked with IO2 Technology to develop a custom non-invasive touch screen for use with the HelioDisplay using our OptiTrack technology. This solution allows users to interact with dynamic video images which float in mid-air.
