OptiTrack's foundation. Retroreflective passive markers, illuminated by the cameras themselves, deliver the sub-millimeter accuracy that has defined motion capture for decades. From character animation to biomechanics to elite sports analysis, marker-based tracking remains the gold standard for capturing complex human and object motion with absolute precision. Shop cameras
Build the Right System for Your Space
Compare sample OptiTrack systems by space, application, and performance requirements, then refine your configuration with our team.
Motive is where motion becomes data
Motive calibrates, solves, labels, and streams 3D data from every OptiTrack camera — in real time, with sub-millimeter accuracy.
From a three-camera lab to the largest stages in the world, Motive is beloved by the people who use it every day. Solve skeletons and rigid bodies live, edit takes with precision, and stream straight into Unreal, Unity, MotionBuilder, MATLAB, OpenXR, ROS 2, and more. With Duplex Mode, run marker-based and markerless capture in the same volume at the same time.
There's no shortcut to precision, so we own every step of the process.
Industrial design, PCB design, SMB, firmware, optics integration, machining, assembly, calibration, QA, and packaging happen at our headquarters. Vertical integration means tighter tolerances, faster iteration, full traceability, and support from the people who built your hardware and write your software.
How the best teams use OptiTrack
ActiveIO is the Next Generation of Active Tracking
New hardware ecosystem combines a proprietary two-way RF communication protocol, IMU sensor fusion, and extended range — purpose-built for location-based VR, virtual production, live events, and tactical training industries that demand high precision, scalability, and ease of use.
Tracking Ronaldo's shots at 500 frames a second
In Mark Rober's viral experiment, a 20-camera PrimeX 120 system running at 500 FPS tracked Ronaldo's penalty kicks with sub-millimeter accuracy, streaming real-time trajectory data to a robot goalie accelerating at 10 G.
