Animation & Motion Capture
By utilizing motion capture tools, animators save time and money bringing their 3D characters to life. Even inorganic objects can spring to life when animated via motion capture. Ever seen a dancing car?
Medical & Medical Simulation
Through advanced simulation technologies, students and doctors practice delicate procedures without the need of cadavers. Ultrasound has also entered a new dimension with 3D or 4D images. Microsensors allow catheters to be tracked without fluoroscopy.
Biomechanics/Human Factors
Doctors and therapists acquire qualitative human motion assessment for physical therapy or rehabilitation. The patient's entire body movements, or just an arm, can be tracked for accurate analyses.
Virtual Reality & Visualization 
Used extensively in the automobile, aircraft, and Oil/Gas Recovery industries, interactive 3D visualization saves time and money on virtual prototypes and gets products to market faster. Ascension's products allow you to interact with objects and environments.
Simulation & Training
Ascension provides several different technologies to track head, hands and instruments in most difficult environments. Both military and commercial customers use these trackers for the most realistic training missions.
Military - Helmet Tracking
Helmet tracking lets combat officers aim weapons and receive situational cues by simply looking at targets. Military-qualified helmet-mounted sights/displays are available from Ascension's licensee, BAE Systems. Next-generation optical tracking technology is available directly from Ascension.
