The Flock is Ascension's most popular tracker. Researchers, developers and end-users alike use it in all real-time visualization and interactive applications.
Key features include:
• Pulsed DC magnetic technology for six degrees-of-freedom tracking with a universal interface. • Immunity from distortion from non-magnetic conductive metals. You can use this tracker around stainless steel (300 series), titanium, and aluminum without measurement errors. • Freedom from blocking and occlusion errors. No need to keep a clear line-of sight between sensors and transmitter. • Simultaneous tracking of all sensors without degradation in measurement rates. Track head and hands at the same time without delay or lag. • Long-range coverage is easily added by "clicking in" our Extended- Range Transmitter (ERT/ERC). • Multiple options to address most tracking requirements.
Ascension's most versatile, and easy-to-use tracker, shown with several available options, instantly tracks the motion of multiple sensors over medium and long ranges.
