AMFITRACK introduces a cost-effective motion tracking system that operates using a single base station. This electromagnetic technology offers precise position and orientation tracking without the need for line-of-sight, making it versatile for various applications.
Behind the Scenes
The system uses electromagnetic fields to track position and orientation
It can support multiple trackers within a 4-meter radius of the base station
Applications include VR controllers, AI controllers, full-body animation, and drone landing
Key advantage: No drift and ability to track through obstacles
Tracking data can be sent directly to Unreal Engine, Unity, and more applications
There is one limitation for camera tracking - due to its use of electromagnetic technology, the metal from a camera will interfere with the tracking. The tracker would need to be rigged a few inches away from the camera body.
Final Take
AMFITRACK's technology represents a step forward in accessible motion tracking solutions. While its metal sensitivity may limit some film production applications, its versatility and affordability could open up new possibilities for smaller productions and various industries beyond filmmaking.
