About OptiTrack Motive
Motive receives synchronised images from OptiTrack camera networks and reconstructs passive markers, active markers, rigid bodies and human skeletons in real time. Calibration tools establish the tracking volume and maintain camera alignment across permanent and temporary installations.
Robotics interfaces stream six-degree-of-freedom position and orientation to control, evaluation and simulation systems. Teams use Motive for external localisation, controller validation, teleoperation capture, sensor calibration and lab ground truth. Plugins and APIs connect with Unreal, Unity and engineering software.
