Polhemus Announces "PATRIOT™DB":
Polhemus, the industry leader in 6 Degree of Freedom (6DOF) motion capture, tracking and digitizing technologies is proud to announce PATRIOT DB, the new 6DOF tracking product that installs quickly and will fit into any standard PC drive bay and allow up to two tracking sensors and one electromagnetic source. This new format permits the user to embed the tracker directly within their PC, allowing for a more simplified workspace while maintaining the high accuracies associated with the standard PATRIOT tracker.
The PATRIOT DB continues to have the same accuracy and other specifications as the regular PATRIOT; speed of 60 Hz per sensor, and ease of use via an intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI). PATRIOT DB has a range of five feet, resolution of 0.0015 inches and 0.01 degree, and a static accuracy of 0.06 inches RMS for the X, Y and Z position and 0.4 degrees RMS of orientation. Latency is less than 10 milliseconds for both sensors simultaneously. The combination of all these attributes clearly positions PATRIOT DB as the forerunner in its class of electromagnetic tracking technology, offering significant improvements over competitive systems.
