Polhemus

The industry standard for accurate 6DOF tracking in real time

A proven tool for professional motion tracking

The Polhemus Fastrak system has established itself in industry as a reliable tool for motion tracking and has set the standard for other trackers. It is ideal for professionals in research, simulation, medicine and robotics who need accurate, reliable and repeatable tracking. the proprietary Electromagnetic AC Technology Provides real-time position and orientation with virtually no latency. Since the system is based on this technology, there is no need for a visual link for continuous tracking.

Core Benefits

What makes it special:

The workhorse 6DOF motion tracker that set the standard in tracking

The special strength of Fastrak lies in its proven reliability and versatility. Not only is it a precise motion tracking system, but it can also be expanded to a powerful 3D digitizer with an optional stylus. The ability to use up to four sensors at the same time makes it a flexible solution for a wide range of applications.
