SOFTWARE
Because of the patented active LED technology, PhaseSpace has reduced the reliance on complicated software to resolve marker positions. Unlike traditional motion capture systems that require users to template markers or place them asymmetrically, the IMPULSE system resolves the unique IDs automatically. This allows our software to be uncomplicated and very easy to use. PhaseSpace also includes a full C++ and Python API to allow you to write your own custom software. All of our software runs on both LINUX and WINDOWS.
MASTER
This is the "Master" program, it acts as the primary client to the IMPULSE system. Just a click of a button starts the system. From here, multiple client nodes are able to connect as slaves. Master also acts as the main recording program. Master outputs in our own native .RPD format as well as .C3D.
CALIBRATION
The IMPULSE system is unique in its quick and easy calibration. Utilizing a single step process that takes less than a few minutes, the system will calibrate in almost any space and any configuration. Like all PhaseSpace software, the calibration software can be run remotely on a client machine.
MOTIONBUILDER PLUG-IN
MotionBuilder is the premier motion capture software in the industry. Using the PhaseSpace plugin, the IMPULSE system is able to stream real-time data into MotionBuilder. Streaming in as optical data, users are able to take advantage of all of the motion capture features of MotionBuilder.
VIRTUAL REALITY PERIPHERALS NETWORK (VRPN) SUPPORT
VRPN is a library of classes in C++ developed by the University of North Carolina that provide an abstraction layer for many types of tracking devices. It is favored by many companies and universities as a method to reduce development overhead by having a common API to interface with a variety of hardware devices. VRPN opens up a new layer of compatibility with VRPN capable software, such as 3DVIA's Virtools and WorldViz's Vizard. The IMPULSE system is compatible with VRPN as of version 7.13.
