Your expert for optical tracking
Do you need to virtually map and optimize production processes? Capture and track objects in real time? Detect and fix errors quickly? Advanced Realtime Tracking GmbH & Co. KG (ART) offers extensive object tracking and localization capabilities for a wide range of applications, including custom requirements.
Since 1999, ART has been a leading manufacturer of high-quality optical motion tracking systems for virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR). Typical applications include visualization and optimization in design and production, motion capture for ergonomic studies, and teaching and research projects with powerwalls, CAVEs, and HMDs.
A particular strength of ART is customizing products for niche markets — such as optical tracking solutions to minimize disturbing light influences in multi-sided projection systems and optimized camera sizes for confined tracking areas like vehicle and aircraft cockpits.
Innovation for industrial applications
With new approaches in optics and image processing, ART continuously improves its expertise in advanced object detection and localization solutions.
One resulting application is our localization solution for hand-held tools, VERPOSE®. With VERPOSE®, assembly positions can be identified and assembly processes corrected.
When markers are impractical, ART offers markerless tracking with CAPTA tracking software. Objects are identified and tracked based on parameters such as shape or texture.
All ART products are highly precise, reliable in operation, and customizable. Research, development, and production take place in Germany.
