Electromagnetic 6DOF Motion Tracking - no visual connection required

Capture precise motion data with no obstacles - no cameras, no visual connection problems

The Patriot Motion Tracking System is a cost-effective solution for applications that require one or two sensors. It is the ideal choice for healthcare, virtual reality (VR), robotics, and research and development professionals who need high-precision real-time tracking without the limitations of conventional optical systems. The Patriot uses proprietary electromagnetic AC technology to deliver high quality 6DOF (6 degrees-of-freedom) data, which means you don't have to worry about visual concealment problems. With a simple and intuitive setup, it performs all complex calculations to deliver both position and orientation data.

Core Benefits
