Vicon Tracker

Vicon Tracker is a powerful object tracking solution providing unrivaled data accuracy for integration in to 3D applications such as VirTools, Labview, Jack, Open Scene Graph, WorldViz, Panda3D and VR Juggler.  Tracker has been designed for applications as diverse as: robot tracking, ingress/egress, human factors engineering; design method optimization, virtual engineering and previzualization.

Tracker 2 is now available for download from your online support account.

Benefits

EASY TO LEARN

Everything you need from calibration to streaming data is neatly arranged within the Tracker interface. We know time is precious so Tracker's been designed so you can quickly concentrate on the important work.

TRACK MULTIPLE OBJECTS

Tracker can easily track 50 unique objects simultaneously. This is important in high object count environments such as immersive whole body tracking in a VR CAVE, as it maximizes the user's sense of immersion.

EYE TRACKING

Native implementation of the Dikablis Eye Tracking system within Tracker allows gaze data to be incorporated within your immersive environment via VRPN as well as our DataStream SDK.

LINK AGGREGATION

Easily connect more cameras into a single system with the new Link Aggregration feature. Send your data to different PC network interface cards and avoid frustrating bottlenecks caused by GigaBit Ethernet bandwidth limitations.

OPTIMIZED RIGID BODY TRACKER

Tracker recognizes rigid bodies in 2D so your data will continue even if the markers become visible to only one camera. This results in fewer gaps and more reliable data.

FAST, RELIABLE DATA

Tracker's validated latency is 2.5 milliseconds; which is up to 5 times less than other systems. This reduces feedback issues in immersive environments. Now you can track objects moving at speed, giving you high quality data at a much lower latency. If latency is important to your research, Tracker has a built in tool to measure it for your specific application.

APEX

Designed to work perfectly with Tracker 2, Apex is Vicon’s new interaction device, built for virtual reality. Not only can you use multiple devices in one volume, but it also provides haptic vibration for user feedback and delivers reliable, robust tracking with as few as two Bonita cameras. It streams precise data in even the largest volumes, giving you plenty of space to be creative.

COMPATIBLE

Whatever your application, Tracker can quickly stream real-time data in to it and you can easily add Tracker software to your existing optical capture system. Not only does it work with Vicon MX3+, F-Series, T-Series and Bonita cameras, it's also compatible with the Vicon Virtual System, enabling you to prototype integrations in to your software without any hardware.

FLEXIBLE INTEGRATION

Tracker's robust integration methods enable you to read data in UDP, TCP, and the VRPN Open Source protocol. VRPN allows support in the following 3D applications:  VirTools, Open Scene Graph, Worldviz, Panda3D, Jack and VR Juggler. Tracker's support of the Vicon datastream allows both Unicast TCP connections and Multicast UDP connections. This is useful when latency is critical, such as transmitting real-time data over Wireless data links for UAV tracking and controlling the flight of a helicopter or path of a robot. TrackD and Autodesk MotionBuilder allow further support in various CAVE environments and other virtual simulations.

32 BIT AND 64 BIT SUPPORT

Tracker operates under 32 bit & 64 bit installations of Windows 7.
