Exceptional 3D precision and accuracy
Exceptional 3D precision and accuracy
OptiTrack systems, coupled with our new calibration tools, produce the most precise 3D data available today—capable of sub-20 µm accuracy in optimal conditions.
Micron Series
Perfectly optimized 3D accuracy is at the heart of our robotics tracking systems. OptiTrack’s drone and ground robot tracking systems consistently produce positional error less than 0.3mm and rotational error less than 0.05°. It varies mildly on the capture environment, but it is often even better than those figures.

"The key performance parameters for us are high data rate, low latency and high precision. We have found that OptiTrack meets and exceeds our expectations in all of these."

Incredible range
Incredible range
OptiTrack cameras offer the best range in the industry, by huge margins. The long-range specialist is able to see a 16 mm passive marker from over 100’ away.

Powerful, flexible rigid body tracking
Powerful, flexible rigid body tracking
OptiTrack’s worldwide reputation for easy to use tools is evident in every keystroke and mouse click within Motive’s robotics tracking solutions. Track an object of just about any size or shape—and get operating without head scratching—in seconds.
Set your object’s origin and preferred axis easily and accurately; adding or removing markers at any time to ensure perfect tracking. You can even share markers between rigid bodies. Then, use Motive’s high-level filters and constraints to fine tune the tracking performance—perfect for demanding applications like high-density, high-speed UAV tracking.

"OptiTrack cameras provide the fast accuracy that we need, and the open SDK allows us to use them in the context that we need – outside traditional motion capture."

Setup is easy
Setup is easy
An OptiTrack pipeline is straightforward, offering several unique features that combine to reduce system setup time by up to 75%. Aim Assist, auto-masking, versatile hardware and the industry's longest range cameras make even large systems easy to setup with just one person.
"The system works out of the box. The robot tracking is robust and calibration is simple."

Outdoor capture, out of the box
Outdoor capture, out of the box
Featuring ultra-powerful strobes and custom-engineered band-pass filters, Prime Series cameras can track reflective markers outside, in full sunlight—ideal for tracking quadrotors in bright environments, without adding the weight and complexity of active markers. All OptiTrack cameras can track the same sized marker outdoors at about half their indoor distance. Of course, you can always use larger markers to increase range, or use active markers for extreme distances.
