The Polhemus Fastrak set the gold standard in motion tracking years ago, and remains a top seller today. The system has an operational range of approximately five feet with the standard source. Utilizing AC electromagnetic technology, the Fastrak provides both position and orientation data with no need for additional calculations.
Since no cameras are used for tracking, there are no line-of-sight issues.
