	Wireless Marker Sets

Wireless marker sets for PTI systems come in different versions to match your application requirements. They all offer the same precision , have unique IDs for error-free data capture, and are encased in high-quality, resistant plastic housing to keep them safe in extreme capture setups.

Different market types can easily be used together on the same subject.

Standard Markers

They are packaged in 2 different ways for application conveniences: Connectorized, or on flat base. They offer excellent control quality in any situation, and are extremely versatile thanks to independent cables and multi-purpose TCMs. (Target Control Module).

The flat-based versions are intended for direct attachment to the skin with double-sided tapes or medical adhesive. The connectorized type is perfect for easy taping on moving objects.

They can be equipped with a 6-chip LED with 170 degrees detection angle or a 1-chip LED. The multi-chip LEDs are intended for longer distance larger motion sensing, while the single-chip LEDs are for applications which require higher capture accuracy.

Octopus Markers

This intelligent marker system will reduce up to 90% of the wiring requirement compared to the Standard LED Marker system. Each small marker comes with a distinct built-in ID for flawless marker identification.

NEW! It can be upgraded into a wireless tactile feedback marker, to send stimuli to your subject and prompt motion. It then can alert your subject of motion deviation or simply validate motion accuracy on cue.

Each marker has 3 connectors and can be freely interconnected with other Octopus Markers to build a flexible layout that can match your exact needs in terms of number and location of markers on the capture subject.

Also available in 1-LED chip version for even greater precision.

SI3TMarker - Completely Wireless Marker

This is the latest completely wireless intelligent marker. It consists of a radio receiver, a micro-controller, and a multi-chip LED. To operate it, simply plug in a battery. It comes with a built-in fixed marker ID for flawless identification. The battery is self-protected to prevent from over-depletion or over-charging. It combines the best features of the passive and the active optical motion capture marker technologies.

Two more multi-chip LEDs can be connected to its two side-connectors. All three LEDs will have their own distinct marker IDs. This three-LED intelligent self-identified marker is convenient for capturing the 6DOF information of an object. It can also be cost-effectively used as three independent markers. Note that the original center LED can also be replaced by a third LED on short extension wire if desired.

SI2TV Marker - Wireless Markers with Tactile Feedback

(Use with PTI VZ4000v/VZ4050 Motion Capture Trackers)

This wireless intelligent marker is also the world's first tactile feedback marker.It can vibrate to send stimuli to your subject and prompt motion. It can alert your subject of motion deviation or simply validate motion accuracy on cue.

Tactile (haptic) feedback in motion capture opens up a whole new range of applications in research (Rehabilitation, Biomechanics, Sports Science) and Virtual Reality. One unit can control up to 2 LED targets, with built-in fixed marker IDs for flawless identification.

Weighing only 15g (including the rechargeable battery), it can be attached directly to the skin or velcroed on a motion capture suit.

It combines the best features of the passive and the active optical motion capture marker technologies.

	Target Control Modules & Receivers

Target Control Module 32 (TCM32)

This TCM can power and control up to 32 standard LED markers. It can be powered by a battery pack or a DC power convertor. Its green indicator will flash whenever the power supply voltage is below normal, or when it detects that a LED's connection is reversed.
(Size: 61 x 57 x 20mm)

Target Control Module 16 (TCM16)

This TCM can power and control up to 16 standard LED markers. The 16 channels can be assigned to occupy either 1-16, 17-32, 33-48 or 49-64 LEDID banks. The high compactness makes it ideal for wearing around a wrist for fingers motion capture or similar applications. It comes in two versions, one for operating as part of a standard marker system, the other can be used in conjunction with a SWMarker system to reduce the overall wiring.
(Size: 61 x 41 x 16.5mm)

Min iTCM

Mini Target Control Module (TCM8)

This TCM can power and control up to 8 standard LED markers. However, each marker will adopt eight distinct marker IDs. Whenever any of the IDs is enabled the marker will flash, this makes it possible to be captured at a different frequency than other markers. The small size and light weight of the TCM allow for applications on small animals, props, wrists, the head, or for operating a VZLaser laser pointer.
(Size: 61 x 41 x 16.5mm)

Tetherless Marker Control Receiver

This device is for receiving the marker control signals broadcast by a matching transmitter so that a standard LED marker system or an Octopus Marker system can be controlled without an otherwise required tether cable between the tracker and a capture subject.
(Receiver Size: 53 x 26 x 10mm)

	Transmitters

Tetherless Marker Control Transmitter

This is for tetherless operation of a standard LED marker system or an Octopus Marker system. It broadcasts the control signals required for controlling the markers. A matching receiver is required for receiving the signals. Thus a transmitter-receiver pair serves as a 'virtual wire' which replaces an otherwise required tether cable between the tracker and a capture subject and allows the subject to move freely.

SIM Transmitter

This radio transmitter is for operation with the SIMarkers. It operates just like the regular marker transmitter, except on a different radio frequency.

	Capture Suit and Gloves

VZSuit

This two-piece stretchable Lycra motion capture suit is completely Velcro-compatible (except for the armpit areas). It allows for free unrestricted acting motions. The actor/ performer simply slips into the suit and is ready to begin motion capture. The top piece is zippered on the front for easy wearing. The suit may come complete with TCM(s) and LED markers strategically placed for optimal full-body motion capture if desired. For applications which require unique marker placements, custom-designed suits may be ordered. The VZSuit is designed for quick and easy arrangement of the LED markers for optimal capture performance and easy suit cleaning. Any wiring required can be covered with removable Velcro strips.

Finger Motion Capture Gloves

Intricate finger and hand motions can be captured with this special glove pair. Made with stretchable Velcro-compatible fabric on the back side and mesh material on the palm side for sensitive touch, this glove set allows tiny Velcro based markers to be easily attached to nearly anywhere required to minimize occlusion and allow the highly complex finger motions to be capture. (Markers not included)

	Tracker Mounting Options

This is a lower cost but still heavy duty industrial tripod for mounting a tracker. It comes with one extendable leg for tilting, and with one adaptor to join with a Tracker Clamp for holding a tracker. This is the tripod that comes with the ‘–SM’ series of the Visualeye systems.

	Special and Custom Accessories

VZProbe Contact Digitizer

This is a stick device to facilitate digitizing the 3D position of a point in space or on an object. It can also be used for establishing a coordinate reference frame. By outfitting it with an appropriate tip, it can even be used to digitize surfaces not in the line-of-sight of the tracker(s), for example the underside of a car or the inside of a cup.

VZLaser Remote 3D Digitizer

This is an optional, handheld, synchronized, laser-pointer that is used for digitizing the 3D shapes and sizes of objects for modeling, research or reverse engineering applications. It operates just like an LED marker, except it comes with a push-button switch for activating the digitization only when desired. Since no physical contact is required, the VZLaser can be used to digitize even non-rigid objects such as a dress or soft tissue.
