| Personal Space Tracker™ (PST™) - 6 DOF optical motion tracker
* six degrees of freedom
* accurate and wireless
* normal indoor lighting conditions
* no calibration
* plug and play
Optical tracking that allows you to transform any object into a 3D interaction device.The PST is a complete tracking system and consist of the tracking unit, a starter set of markers, a pre trained 3D interaction device, training software and a manual. No external processing unit is required.
Key features
* 6 degrees of freedom highly accurate optical tracker
* no need for calibration
* easy installation (plug and play)
* robust against electric and magnetic interferences
* no external processing unit needed
* short latency
* linux and windows compatable
* fast data communication via ethernet
* wireless passive targets (no batteries required)
* targets with 4 or more retro-reflective
* markers can provide 6 DOF tracking
* easy training of custom built targets
* transform arbitrary objects like cubes, pens, coffee mugs and tennis rackets into tracked objects
Fast accurate tracking
The PST uses uses tangible, wireless interaction devices for 3D interaction. These devices are tracked using a sophisticated optical tracking system. The position and orientation (pose) of the devices are reconstructed 60 times per second, and with sub-millimeter accuracy.
Normal lighting conditions
The optical tracking is based on infrared lighting, reducing interference of visible light sources from the environment. This allows the PST to be used under normal office working conditions, without requiring controlled lighting.
Anything can be used as an interaction device
Retro-reflective markers are applied to the devices. The tracking system uses these markers to recognize different devices, and to reconstruct their poses. Basically, any kind of physical object can be used as a device, e.g. a pen, a thimble, a cube, or even a toy car.
