| New
Advanced DC Magnetic Technology |
- New electronics and improved
algorithms provide excellent
tracking stability. Metal
detection and noise reduction
tools make sure that environmental
factors do not affect the
tracking. This combination
gives you consistently high
data capture for a high
quality immersive experience.
|
| Wireless
Tracking |
- 3D Navigator lets you
move around without being
hindered by trailing cables.
Wand and head-tracked data
is now sent via an RF link
to magnify realism for participants
and permit more effective
presentations.
|
| Extreme
Portability |
- Set-up and start using
3D Navigator in minutes.
When done, break down and
stow it away just as easily.
Its footprint is small enough
to be self-contained on
a wheeled cart. No permanent
installation of overhead
grids or cameras is required.
3D Navigator gives you great
versatility for service
in multi-use facilities
and traveling sites.
|
| High Accuracy
Data |
- 3D Navigator provides
the same high accuracy performance
of tethered tracking devices,
operational worldwide in
immersive visualization
environments. Its technology
is well proven in over 80
installations at universities,
research centers, oil &
gas companies, as well as
manufacturing design and
visual computational centers.
|
| No
Occlusion or Line-of-Sight Issues |
- 3D Navigator is a robust,
single-technology solution
that transmits position
and orientation data while
allowing full range of movement
for your tracked user. DC
magnetic technology overcomes
the occlusion and line-of-sight
problems of optical and
inertial/acoustic technologies.
It also lets you focus on
immersive experiences without
difficult set up and operational
limits.
|
| Elegant
Design |
- We have repackaged all
tracking components for
small footprint, attractiveness
and high utility. It includes
a stable yet stylish mounting
stand for transmitter placement
and neat appearance in professional
settings.

About Wanda
Hand-held 3D Navigation Device:
| Wanda
is designed into each
3D Navigator. It is a
palm-sized, thumb-activated
navigation and interaction
tool with a joystick and
3 programmable buttons.
It comfortably fits into
your hand for pointing
and manipulation of 3D
objects in a virtual environment.
This makes it an ideal
tool for CAVE and large-scale
visualization systems. |
|
| Its joystick-like control
ball lets you control
translational motions
in both the "X"
and "Y" axis.
Three programmable, colored
'momentary' switches offer
excellent tactile feedback
for selection reassurance.
In addition, its embedded
6 DOF magnetic sensor
lets you track and mark
locations within the virtual
environment. |
3D
Navigator comes with
a WANDA hand-held
3D pointer with programmable
buttons |
Wanda is compatible
with Cavelib™/Trackd™
software applications.
Additional protocols can be
developed to meet your requirements.
