  Description

For motion capture users who require more accuracy, higher frame rates and real time full body motion capture, PhoeniX Technologies is proud to offer the new Visualeyez™ VZ4000 system.

The newly released VZ4000 tracker still provides motion capture professionals with all the features of its predecessor (VZ3000), except now it can capture 3D coordinates at much higher speeds ... 4300 times per second!

In addition, the VZ4000 has better optical filters which further cuts down ambient light interference resulting in even cleaner data. 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.

The new capabilities of the VZ4000 also play crucial roles in the development of upcoming accessories and new applications.

Overall, the VZ4000 system has better technical performance and higher operational reliability while still maintaining backward compatibility with all software programs!

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.

  Description

For motion capture users who require good performance and full body motion capture, this predecessor of the VZ4000 may already provide sufficient capabilities for the purpose. This series of trackers has proven itself to deliver real-time top quality motion data for projects ranging from computer animation for film and video games to scientific research.

The processed data is normally displayed graphically in real time on the friendly VZSoft™ graphical user interface (GUI) and exported through VZSoft™ plugins, in real time, to many industry standard animation and scientific applications, including:

  • LabVIEW
  • MATLAB
  • Autodesk Motion Builder
  • Visual3D

Each VZ3000 tracker features a rigid carbon composite construction for permanent calibration stability, with a lightweight aluminum shell. The elegantly- designed aluminum tripod also doubles as a heavy duty protective case during tracker transportation.

The tracker performs four primary functions:

  • Receives and executes the user commands specified via the VZSoft™ GUI
  • Controls the intelligent TCMs (Target Control Modules) to turn on the LED markers in the specified sequence
  • Senses the marker lights and computes the marker XYZ coordinates
  • Outputs the coordinates to the host device synchronously
