The Polaris real-time optical tracking system can determine the real-time 6DOF transformations (positions and orientations) of tools based on measuring the 3D positions of markers
Northern Digital Inc. real-time optical tracking system can determine the real-time 6DOF transformations (positions and orientations) of tools based on measuring the 3D positions of markers. It comes in three configurations: active, passive, and hybrid.

Each system combines features and capabilities for tracking systems in applications such as digitization for part inspection, medical device tracking, and robot calibration. The system is compact in size and contains advanced real-time tracking algorithms and wireless reflective target-based tools.

Standard features include:

  • The ability to track active markers and passive targets, enabling optimal tool designs with maximum performance and ergonomics
  • Small, lightweight position sensor that can be mounted in practically any indoor area built-in Application Programmer's Interface that simplifies application development
  • Communication via RS-232/RS-422 to enable the system to be interfaced with almost any workstation
