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.
APPLICATIONS
Head/Hand/Body Tracking
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Pulsed DC magnetic technology: Five times less susceptible to distortion caused by nearby metal than AC technology.
Dedicated processor for each sensor: Highest measurement rates regardless of number of sensors tracked.
USB Interface: Fast output with minimum latency.
Multiple configurations: Track up to 4 sensors in real time.
Small chassis with built-in power supply: Compact design takes up minimal room on desktop.
Installation CD: Fast set up with plug-and-play capability.
