3D Navigator
Wireless tracker for interactive pointing in real-time visualization systems.
3D Guidance
Guide Medical Instruments with Passive DC Magnetic Sensors
Flock of Birds
Fast and accurate DC magnetic position and orientation tracking of 1-4 sensors with minimal occlusion, drift or distortion from conductive materials. Provides full six degrees-of-freedom (6DOF) tracking and connects to your host computer with a serial interface.
Flock of Birds Class B
Regulatory-qualified Flock that meets Class B electrical, EMI and safety standards
3D-BIRD
Ascension's low cost inertialmotion tracker for  measuring orientation angles without range limitation or line-of-sight restrictions.  3D-BIRD provides instant tracking for real-time viewing and use in simulators and virtual environments.
Hy-BIRD
All-attitude helmet tracking without occlusions
laserBIRD 2
Highly accurate optical tracker for use in environments that preclude magnetic, acoustic and inertial trackers optimized for simulator cockpits.
microBIRD
DC Magnetic Tracker with miniaturized 1.8 mm sensors and conductive metal immunity.
miniBIRD 500 and 800 
Fast and accurate DC magnetic position and orientation tracker with miniature sensors as small as 5mm wide. Especially useful for medical imaging. Sensors are small enough to be inserted in endoscopes or attached to probes, trocars, biopsy needles, diagnostic devices, and other instruments for instantaneous localization of their position and orientation.
MotionStar
The choice of animators worldwide for real-time motion capture. Uses DC magnetic sensors to overcome blocking and post processing delays. Supported by all leading animation software products and used extensively in animating computer characters for film, television and games. Also used increasingly in biomechanics and human factors analysis.
MotionStar Wireless 2
All the functionality of MotionStar in an untethered model for maximum freedom of motion and ease of use. Supports interaction of multiple performers.
Nest of Birds
DC magnetic position and orientation tracking of up to 4 sensors with high data throughput. Available with USB or serial interface.
pciBIRD
Fast and accurate DC magnetic position and orientation tracking integrated into your PC. Configurations available with 8mm or standard (25mm) sensors.
pcBIRD
Fast and accurate DC magnetic tracking system for legacy PC systems. Highly configurable with many transmitter and sensor options.
ReActor 2
Affordable single-person motion capture system for small to medium sized animation projects. Features electronic cameras in a 12-bar fixed array for full coverage and quick set up.
3D-BIRD
Ascension's low cost inertial motion tracker for measuring orientation angles without range limitation or line-of-sight restrictions. 3D-BIRD provides instant tracking for real-time viewing and use in simulators and virtual environments.
6D Mouse
6D Mouse is a six degrees-of-freedom pointing device with three programmable buttons. The Mouse allows you to naturally manipulate and control images in 3D.
SpacePad
Inexpensive AC magnetic position tracking system. Ideal for immersive environments and games.
Wanda
Wanda is a navigation device with a joystick and 3 programmable buttons. With an embedded 6 DOF sensor, Wanda can be used in free space, unlike a typical mouse or joystick.
