The Nest of Birds simultaneously tracks the position and orientation of up to 4 sensors, providing high speed, accurate tracking data. Plugging directly into a USB or RS-232 interface, the Nest's installation CD lets you get up and running fast! The DC magnetic tracking technology allows the Nest to accurately track with minimal interference by conductive metals.
