Magnetic tracker with an electronics unit powered by the ISA bus on legacy computers.
APPLICATIONS
Head/Hand/Object Tracking
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Pulsed DC magnetic tracking: Five times less susceptible to distortion caused by nearby metal than AC technology.
Easy expandability: Track multiple sensors simultaneously without reduction in measurements.
Powered by the ISA bus on your personal computer: Outputs Available on ISA Bus without I/O Delays.
Two tracking range options: Standard or Extended Range Transmitters. Tracks at ranges up to 3.05 meters.
