VZSoft

	System Software

VZSoft™ is the standard graphical user interface provided for operation with every Visualeyez™ motion tracking system.
	VZSoft™

This revolutionary software can completely automatically and adaptively calibrate the configuration of a multi-tracker Visualeyez™ system. It replaces the VZServer™ if purchased.
	VZAutoCal™

This allows multiple trackers to operate as one capable of capturing the subject motions from multiple views and thus reduce occlusion. It also provides a function for manually calibrating the configuration of a multi-tracker system.
	VZServer™

This allows captured motion data to be distributed through a LAN for parallel applications, or be merged for virtual interaction applications.
	HydraNet™ - VZClient

This toolbox provides a host of functions for processing, analysis and/or display of the captured motion data.
	VZAnalyzer™

This is for controlling data acquisition card(s) to sample external signals in synchronism with 3D motion capture by a Visualeyez™ system.
	VZDaq™

This is a host of small tools for interfacing the Visualeyez™ system outputs with third party software.
	3rd Party Software Interface

	VZSoft™ Graphical User Interface

VZSoft™ is the graphical user interface for a Visualeyez™motion tracking system. It allows the user to setup the system hardware, then view and stream out the captured motion data to other applications. It operates on the Windows platform, but the captured data can be streamed out to other operating platforms (see HydraNet™ - VZClient) in real-time or offline. The following lists some of its numerous functions.

	Selective Marker Display to Facilitate Placement

	A standard marker can be selectively turned on for easy visual identification, naming and evaluation of the placement accuracy. This relieves the user from having to label the markers before a capture application.

	Arbitrary Marker Sensing Sequence

	Through VZSoft™, the user can arbitrarily arrange the order in which standard markers will be sampled. This eliminates the need to place markers in an orderly manner prior to a capture, as well as permits sensing of the markers to capture order-related information.

	Full Control Of Visualeyez™Hardware

All PTI Visualeyez™ motion capture system hardware are controlled through the VZSoft™ graphical user interface. This GUI is developed on very intuitive terminologies and hence highly friendly. Very few parameters need to be specified by the user to start a motion capture. Many functions have been made automatic so the user can simply use the system for their applications without having to understand the technology behind it.

	Auto Project Function

	This function will allow the system to automatically capture multiple takes with one single setup. The take names and project titles will increment as they are captured, and the time interval between takes is adjustable over a wide range. This is particularly useful for repetitive research applications.

	Analog Signals and Motion Data in One File

	The new VZSoft™. output file format (.vzp) allows analog data acquired by A/D board(s) through our VZDaq™* data acquisition software to be saved with the concurrently captured 3D motion data. The user can easily call up both data streams for synchronous analysis!

	Available Software Plug-ins

	Plug-ins are available for integrating a Visualeyez™ system with off-the-shelf application software for real-time animation and/or scientific applications. The current line-up of plug-ins include: LabVIEW (National Instruments) MATLAB (Mathworks) Visual3D (C-Motion) Maya (Autodesk) 3D Studio Max (Autodesk) MotionBuilder(Autodesk) Softimage (Avid) Famous 3D (Famous Tech)
