3D-BIRD®

Home > Products > 3D-BIRD

3D-BIRD delivers smooth tracking of orientation angles without range limitation or line-of-sight restrictions. Since there is no magnetic transmitter, metallic interference is virtually eliminated. 3D-BIRD uses your computer to process its computations. No electronics unit means a simplified, more robust configuration at a lower cost.
