Markers & targets

Targets

Many geometries available — including custom developments.

Marker geometries for precise 6DOF bodies

Targets are defined arrangements of passive markers on rigid carriers — DTRACK calculates position and orientation of a body (6DOF) from them. Individual spherical markers use retroreflection so they are detected reliably from several metres away (article: Retroreflection — how glass beads make our tracking possible).

Variants & ordering

  • Standard targets for HMD, tools, MoCap, and general applications
  • Special targets and custom geometries on request
  • Individual passive markers for your own body designs — see Markers
  • Active markers with modulated flash — e.g. driven by the AMC6

Order targets and sets in the ART target shop.

Calibration & practice

Calibrate new or custom geometries in DTRACK as rigid bodies. Tips and common pitfalls: Target calibration in DTRACK.

Typical applications

  • HMD and glasses tracking in VR/AR installations
  • Tool and object tracking in engineering and assembly
  • Motion-capture skeletons and reference bodies in research
  • Prop tracking and custom hardware with fixed marker layouts
