About OptiTrack
OptiTrack develops optical motion-capture cameras, tracking software and markers for robotics, movement science, virtual production and immersive systems.
Its platform supports passive retroreflective tracking, self-identifying active hardware and low-latency six-degree-of-freedom measurement. Robot developers use the resulting data for localisation, ground-truth validation, training and control experiments involving arms, humanoids, drones and mobile platforms. Precision and outdoor suitability depend on camera, marker and installation choices.
