Solutions / Motion Capture / Polhemus



Polhemus provides an array of motion tracking product lines to meet or exceed the requirements of your program, project, research, or tracking applications. Our family of trackers offers the fastest update rate, lowest latency and highest accuracy specifications in the industry.

Advanced AC Technology

Polhemus pioneered AC motion tracking and has refined and perfected the technology through numerous generations. Unlike products based on pulsed DC technology, Polhemus trackers are not negatively affected by the earth's magnetic field, power outlets or electric motors. Because AC tracking is also more accurate and faster, it's clearly the superior choice. In fact, Polhemus originated pulsed DC technology, but chose not to pursue it because of performance shortcomings.
