Precision Tracking for Virtual Reality
OptiTrack delivers the industry’s most accurate, low-latency tracking for virtual reality—enabling truly immersive experiences.
True-to-Life Motion
Sub-millimeter tracking ensures virtual movements perfectly match real-world actions, creating smooth, believable VR experiences.
No Lag, Just Reality
Real-time, low-latency tracking keeps pace with every motion, so VR experiences stay fluid, natural, and deeply immersive.
VR Without Boundaries
OptiTrack systems grow and scale with your space, from a single headset to a full free-roam VR arena, easily and reliably.
Drift-Free Tracking at any Scale
One System, Endless VR Tracking Capabilities
Accurately track a room full of HMDs or shutter glasses, controllers, hands, fingers, and even the user's complete body all with a single tracking system.
Track Every Player, Prop, and Headset in Real Time
Location-based VR demands tracking that scales across identical headsets, identical props, and multiple players. ActiveIO HMD Clips snap onto headsets like the HTC Vive Focus 3. Embedded Tag-8s give every prop a unique identity without custom marker patterns. And GPIO turns any wand or weapon into a live input — streamed into your render engine via NatNet with the low latency operators need.
Active Tracking vs Passive Tracking
Active Tracking
Active tracking uses battery-powered LED markers that emit light in a coded pattern, allowing each marker to be uniquely identified. This enables robust tracking in difficult environments, like brightly lit LED stages or multi-object scenarios.
Passive Tracking
Passive tracking uses reflective markers that bounce infrared light from OptiTrack cameras back to the lens. It’s ideal for complex tracking volumes where cost-effective, lightweight markers are preferred.
Exceptional 3D Precision
To create immersive experiences, tracking must be free of jitter and noise. OptiTrack delivers sub-20 µm accuracy for smooth, artifact-free VR experiences.
What’s New in Virtual Reality?
Open Access, Seamless Integration
Access everything from camera images to 6DoF data with our free developer tools. The NatNet SDK makes real-time streaming simple, open, and integration-ready.
NatNet SDK
Integrate OptiTrack data into apps, plugins, or engines for smooth, real-time streaming use.
MAT LAB Plugin
A collection of simple examples for streaming from Motive to MATLAB via NatNet.
Unreal Engine
Real-time interface for streaming 6DoF Rigid Body and skeleton data to Unreal.
Motion Builder
Real-time streaming and recording for markers, Rigid Bodies, skeletons, and virtual cameras.
Trackable Objects
Track any object type using a single infrared LED marker configuration. This allows for hundreds of identically manufactured HMDs, weapons, controllers, and scene elements to be tracked simultaneously within the volume.
Zero Drift. Pure Precision.
Motive calibrates automatically and continuously with data collected during normal use of the system. No longer does your calibration degrade over time with changing temperatures or challenging building movement—it is always a “fresh” calibration.
Mix and Match Cameras
OptiTrack cameras work together seamlessly to build the perfect motion capture system for any use case.
Motive is behind every seamless workflow
OptiTrack’s Motive software delivers speed, precision, and ease of use, streamlining everything from calibration to real-time streaming, while tools like Aim Assist and auto-masking make even large system setups simple for one person.
