TRACKER
Fast, accurate and precise object and rigid body tracking software
Tracker is your engineering solution, from robot tracking to human factors engineering, design method optimization to virtual engineering and previsualization to virtual reality and more.
A simple to learn yet highly functional user interface and realtime data with minimal latency, combined with over 35 years of perfecting camera calibration and 3D reconstruction techniques has resulted in an accurate and affordable 3D tracking solution.
View datasheetTrack more objects at higher camera counts with the powerful new core engine, developed from scratch in Tracker 3
Tracker 3 can process data in as little as 1.5ms, at more than 500 frames per second, which is up to five times faster than other systems. Smart algorithms select the best data to use from the cameras, and new adaptive filtering techniques change according to how fast an object is moving to create your VR experience.
Your data will continue even if the markers become visible to only one camera, with the added ability to recognize rigid bodies in 2D. This results in fewer gaps and more reliable data.
Vicon is now the only optical motion capture provider to be able to offer low latency real-time modeling of robots out-of-the-box. Streaming data by UDP, Tracker 3 talks directly to Mathworks’ Simulink package for hardware in loop (HIL) testing. Get feedback from your robot directly from Tracker 3 into SimuLink for fast, low latency end to end system testing.
Tracker’s robust integration methods enable you to read data in UDP, TCP, and the VRPN Open Source protocol or take advantage of the Datastream SDK.
Whatever your application, Tracker 3 can quickly stream real-time data into it. Tracker is also compatible with the Vicon Virtual System, enabling you to prototype integrations into your software without any hardware.
Native implementation of the Dikablis Eye Tracking system within Tracker 3 allows gaze data to be incorporated with your application via VRPN as well as our DataStream SDK.
Provides the best quality 6 degree of freedom solves from rigid clusters of markers by fusing 2D observations and 3D reconstructions, resulting in gap-free 3D data even when only a single camera can see the markers. End to end latency from observation to availability of the 6DOF data in the client application as low as 5ms.
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.
Works with all Vicon Vantage, Vero, T-series and Bonita cameras.
With the added ability to recognize rigid bodies in 2D, your data will continue even if the markers become visible to only one camera. This results in fewer gaps and more reliable data.
Vicon recommends the following specifications for use with your Vicon Tracker System. If you are using an older version of Vicon software, please contact Vicon to ensure there are no issues or driver limitations if you are upgrading your PC. Your choice depends on your application requirements and the size of your system.

Please do note:
1. Open the Network and Sharing Center and navigate to Change Adapter Settings. Vicon Vantage/Vero cameras are designated to one port. For each Vue (or Bonita Video) camera connected, there will be additional network port used.
2. Right click on the proper port and go into the Properties. The Local Area Connection Properties window will open. Make sure only Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) is selected.
3. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) from the list and select Properties to assign the proper IP address.
a .Vantage/Vero cameras will have the following IP Address: 192.168.10.1 and Subnet Mask of: 255.255.255.0
b. The first VUE camera will have the following IP Address: 192.168.10.2 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0
c. Any additional VUE cameras the last IP value is incrementally increased by one. For example, the second VUE camera will be 192.168.10.3.
Select OK to close out of the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties. And OK again to close out of the Local Area Connection Properties. This will make sure all changes have been saved.
4. Feel free to rename the network port so it is easily identifiable. Such as ViconMX, VUE1 or VUE2

Link aggregation is used to describe various methods for using multiple parallel network connections to increase throughput beyond the limit that one link (one connection) can achieve. Link aggregation is supported in Tracker 1.3+, Nexus 1.8.5+, Blade 2+.
When setting up Link Aggregation ensure that you have the correct Network cards (Intel i340-T4 or the Intel i350-T4 cards) installed on your capture PC. Once you have the correct Network card(s) follow these steps:
1. Make sure your three network ports have fixed IP addresses 192.168.10.1, 192.168.10.2 and 192.168.10.3. A maximum of nine NICs are allowed (192.168.10.1 – 192.168.10.9 inclusive).
2. Connect the 192.168.10.1 and 192.168.10.2 ports to one Giganet/Power over Ethernet switch (POE) and 192.168.10.3 to the other Giganet/POE. You will need an extra cable connecting your Giganets/POEs.
3. Run Tracker/Nexus/Blade, set your workspace to Camera and select all the cameras in the System pane (you will need to expand Vicon Cameras). Please do note that there might be slight differences between the three applications.
4. Turn the Giganet/POE connected to 192.168.10.3 off then select all the cameras that just went red in the System pane.
Select the Destination IP Address drop-down and select 192.168.10.3.
5. Select the remaining (green) cameras then scroll down their Properties, select the Destination IP Address drop-down and select 192.168.10.2.
6. Turn the Giganet/POE connected to 192.168.10.3 back on. Select all the cameras in the System pane.
Save your System configuration.

The Virtual-Reality Peripheral Network (VRPN) is a library that provides an interface between 3D immersive applications and tracking systems used for Virtools. Vicon Tracker 3 has a built-in VRPN server that will stream data natively into these applications or will allow for the development of simple interfaces using VRPN.
Virtools, a commercial application, has support for VRPN and can be configured to connect with Vicon Tracker as follows.
A full VRDevice.cfg file is included below.
Note
[email protected] is the way Virtools connects to the VRPN server within Tracker. The format is [email protected]_Name. This configuration file will look for an object called “Head” on the Tracker server called “TrackerPC.”

This VRDevice.cfg also contains other directives that:
axisPermute_0 0 2 1 axisSign_0 1 1 1
TrackerGroup_0 T0:0:6
To complete the process, do the following:
trackerScale_0
in your VRDevice.cfg file to 0.001 (converts Vicon mm to Virtools m).
