Our PC base-station hauses all electronics and
a high speed interface to
your host computer. Each sensor
is connected to the chassis
by a 35-foot cable and can
be bundled together for unhindered
performance.

| Measurement
rate: |
Up
to 144 measurements/second |
| Outputs: |
X,
Y, Z positional coordinates
and orientation angles, rotation

| Distortion and
Noise Interference: |
Ferrous metal
in floors, walls and ceilings
as well as noise sources in
the motion-capture area can
adversely affect measurements.
To avoid problems, be sure
to do the following:
- You can purchase
an Environmental Analyzer to sweep your capture area
before installing the system.
It will show you where to
install the system to minimize
metal effects and the best
measurement rate to avoid
60/50Hz noise sources that
can cause jitter.

Affordable, tethered
tracker for capturing human
motions. Developed
with animators world-wide,
MotionSTAR is a "turn-key"
motion-capture solution when
purchased with appropriate
animation software and workstation.
It comes in a fully-integrated
enclosure with a fast Ethernet
interface to your computer.
