Capturing the Science of Motion
OptiTrack offers the world’s leading blend of measurement accuracy and simple, easy-to-use workflows.
Capture Every Detail
Sub-millimeter accuracy records the smallest nuances of human movement, giving researchers, clinicians, and coaches confidence to trust every frame.
Insight as Fast as Motion
Instant feedback enables real-time analysis, training, and discovery: from lab studies to high-performance athletics, data arrives as quickly as movement itself.
From Clinics to Arenas
Whether analyzing a single subject in a lab or capturing teams on the field, OptiTrack systems scale effortlessly and deliver dependable results in any environment.
Systems for Any Space
What’s New in Movement Science?
Industry Leading Gait Analysis
With clinically validated markersets for lower-body, full-body and multi-segment foot models directly available in Motive, gait laboratories can easily integrate OptiTrack systems for seamless workflow.
Gait Validation Study: Learn how the Rizzoli markerset offers superior biomechanical relevance when compared to conventional markersets like Helen Hayes and Plug-in-Gait.
Prime Color Camera
With a software operated filter switcher to enable calibration alongside other OptiTrack cameras, the Prime Color FS has the ability to overlay precision 3D motion capture data on the video image for data verification and CG reference for human movement studies.
Sync Multiple Cameras
Capture every angle of your subject in motion for complete analysis and artistic expression. Motive allows automatic syncing of up to 8 Prime Color cameras to enable multiple views and creative compositions.
Outdoor capture, out of the box
Featuring ultra-powerful strobes and custom-engineered band-pass filters, Versa series cameras track reflective markers outside—in full sunlight—with no need for special add-ons or hardware modifications.
Maximize your tracking areas.
Our specially-designed wide FOV, low distortion lenses provide for tracking areas as big as the setup area. There are no compromises that are common with other systems, where the range falls off.
One-click subject calibration.
Calibrate new performers, subjects, patients, athletes and skeletons in an instant, with a single button click. You can even do so with multiple subjects in the volume at once. The character pipelines into Unreal Engine, Unity, MotionBuilder, and several others are polished for production ease and reliability.
Support for Visual3D & The MotionMonitor
Motive focuses on what OptiTrack does best—providing a simple path to capturing the highest quality 3D data in the industry. For the most advanced biomechanics analysis and reporting on the market, we recommend Visual3D or The MotionMonitor—now with enhanced support from Motive.
Higher density markersets, even in large volumes.
OptiTrack’s industry-leading range, typically twice that of other systems, enables dense marker sets alongside full-body tracking. We delivered the world’s largest high-density system, tracking 100+ 3 mm markers in under a cubic foot across 1000 sq ft.
DAQ Support
Motive’s native support for National Instruments USB DAQ devices enables motion capture data and analog data to be synchronized within +/-5 µs per camera exposure, with support for input frequencies up to 50 kHz via the eSync 2. This allows for acquisition from any general analog device, including triggers, EMGs, force places, accelerometers, and force transducers.
Force Plate Support
OptiTrack offers native plug-and-play support for all leading force plate manufacturers. Motive’s plug-and-play force plate support integrates all force plates and precisely synchronizes them with the kinematic data, as well as offering real-time streaming, capture, and export of all ground reaction force components.
Using OptiTrack’s CS-400 calibration square users can now position force plates into the tracking volume through the one-click positioning feature. Best of all, this means no need to enter the calibration matrices or multiple analog cables.
Validated Markersets
Motive supports numerous biomechanics marker sets, with a focus on scientific and anatomically-valid options. Whether your analysis takes place in Visual3D, The MotionMonitor, MATLAB, or another third-party tool, these markersets provide robust marker tracking with real-time labeling.
Tools for the Expert User
For the expert user with highly specialized technical requirements, OptiTrack’s open SDK enables development of customized workflows, system operation and data analysis. OptiTrack even offers a headless version with which other software can manage and operate the tracking system via your own wrapper. Well documented workflows and sample codes make custom integrations fast and easy.
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.
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.
