Motion Capture System with VZ4050 Tracker

This VZ4050 tracker offers all features currently available with PTI’s Visualeyez VZ4000v, at half the form factor!

Effectively measuring only 62cm in length and weighing in at 2.2kgs (4.9lbs), the VZ4050 offers real-time active optical motion capture through patented 90° wide-angle technology.Markers can be sensed from as close as 25 cm and as far as 7 meters away.

A single VZ4050 can be used to capture 3D data from up to 512 uniquely identified markers in real-time or multiple VZ4050 units (theoretically unlimited, tested up to 24) can be strung together to capture a larger area or motions from multiple subjects and objects.

All VZ4050 trackers come with distributed tactile feedback capability to take advantage of Phoenix Technologies' latest tactile feedback markers.

The new small form factor at 62cm opens up real-time capture research possibilities in areas such as human factor engineering, cockpit pilot-instrument interaction, auto driver-dashboard interaction digitization, in-vehicle crash test monitoring, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, etc. Coupled with PTI’s automatic and adaptive calibration capabilities provided through VZAutoCal and instant and continuous calibration capability (for flexible environments) provided through VZInstaCal.

Each VZ4050 tracker features a thermal-cycled rigid carbon composite construction for permanent calibration accuracy and stability, with a lightweight aluminum shell. The elegantly designed aluminum tripod also doubles as a heavy duty protective case during tracker transportation.

Motion Capture System with VZ4000v Tracker

For motion capture users who require more accuracy and exclusive features, PhoeniX Technologies is proud to offer the new Visualeyez™ VZ4000v system.

The newly released VZ4000v tracker still provides motion capture professionals with all the features of its predecessor (VZ4000), except now it can take advantage of Phoenix Technologies latest tactile feedback markers. Send stimuli, prompt and control resulting motions, in real-time!

A VZ4000v motion capture system can capture 3D coordinates at 4300 times per second, coupled with PTI’s automatic and adaptive calibration capabilities provided through VZAutoCal and instant and continuous calibration capability (for flexible environments) provided through VZInstaCal.

In addition, the VZ4000v has advanced optical filters which further cuts down ambient light interference resulting in even cleaner data.

The new tactile feedback capabilities of the VZ4000v also play crucial roles in the development of upcoming accessories and new applications,

Tthe VZ4000v system maintains backward compatibility with all software programs!

Each VZ4000v tracker features a thermal-cycled rigid carbon composite construction for permanent calibration accuracy and stability, with a lightweight aluminum shell. The elegantly designed aluminum tripod also doubles as a heavy duty protective case during tracker transportation.

Motion Capture System with VZ4000 Tracker

The VZ4000 tracker provides motion capture professionals with all the standard features of PTI trackers:

  • 90° Operation Angle
  • Huge Capture Area ( 7 x 9 m)
  • < 0.5 mm Accuracy (H-series)
  • PTI’s automatic and adaptive calibration capabilities provided through VZAutoCal and instant and continuous calibration capability (for continuously moving environments) provided through VZInstaCal.

The improved Target Control Modules (TCMs) significantly boost the radio control reliability even in radio-noisy environments. With the laser etched, powder-coated housing, this new tracker outlook has been made more durable than ever.

Each VZ4000 tracker features a thermal-cycled rigid carbon composite construction for permanent calibration accuracy and stability, with a lightweight aluminum shell. The elegantly designed aluminum tripod also doubles as a heavy duty protective case during tracker transportation.
