Industry-Leading Precision
Our 3D precision is the best in the business, outperforming even the highest-resolution competition—which is why Activision selected OptiTrack to build the largest and most accurate performance capture stage in existence.
Production ready workflows
We think that motion capture shouldn't have to be complicated in order to deliver exceptional data. From our on-camera aim assist technology, to one-click subject calibration, to free developer tools—OptiTrack offers highly usable, intelligent tools that save valuable time on shoot day.
Incredible Range
OptiTrack cameras offer the best range in the industry, by huge margins. The long-range specialist Prime 41 is able to see a 16 mm passive marker from over 100’ away.
Wall-to-Wall Tracking
We engineer our lenses for low distortion—even within our very wide FOV options. Each lens' image circle is performance-matched to the imager's resolution, for true edge-to-edge coverage—and our wide band anti-reflective coating increases light transmission by up to 40%.
"We deployed 110 Prime 41 cameras to produce the largest capture volume in history. At 185’ x 80’ x 20’ of active capture volume, we doubled the size of the previously claimed record—and this on a live-action film set crowded with actors, props, and even practical effects."

Synchronized reference video with 3D overlay
Switch any OptiTrack motion capture camera into reference mode and transform it into a calibrated and synchronized reference camera. Reference footage can be overlaid with 3D marker and bone data, creating the perfect visual reference for real-time previs and assistance with post.
Global Positional Accuracy
Track numerous actors and props simultaneously with globally accurate data, for a simple post-processing workflow and natural interactions between your performers.
Developer Tools
Our free developer tools provide access to camera images, centroids, reconstructed 3D points, skeletal data, and everything in between. Visit our Developer Hub to find the right SDK for you.
MAT LAB Plugin
A collection of simple examples for streaming from Motive to MATLAB via NatNet.
NatNet SDK
Integrate OptiTrack data into apps, plugins, or engines for smooth, real-time streaming use.
Python
Advanced utility to reprogram and configure OptiTrack Active hardware beyond factory setup.
Force Plate Support
Synchronize your system to almost any signal or source with the eSync 2 or OptiHub 2 devices. Cameras can be sync’d to external sources such as a professional video Genlock signal, and can also be triggered to record from general purpose inputs and software commands. Motive also broadcasts a simple XML UDP packet that provides start/stop record for triggering remote devices, such as reference video cameras.
SMPTE Time Code Support
Users with Prime Series cameras and the eSync 2 device can stamp recorded and streamed motion capture data with SMPTE Time Code for integrating with other media and data in post.
Zero Drift. Pure Precision.
Motive calibrates automatically and continuously with data collected during normal use of the system. No longer does your calibration degrade over time with changing temperatures or challenging building movement—it is always a “fresh” calibration.
Mix and Match Cameras
OptiTrack cameras work together seamlessly to build the perfect motion capture system for any use case.
Motive is behind every seamless workflow
OptiTrack’s Motive software delivers speed, precision, and ease of use, streamlining everything from calibration to real-time streaming, while tools like Aim Assist and auto-masking make even large system setups simple for one person.
