Flexible and boundaryless without sacrifices

Enjoy total motion freedom with PATRIOT™ WIRELESS - no wires, no boundaries. Up to 4 wireless markers provide full 6DOF tracking, letting you work, play, or analyze motion seamlessly with proven AC electromagnetic technology.

Scalable, Expandable Coverage

Adding markers (up to four per system) increases the number of objects or people being tracked. Markers update at rate of 50 frames per second - delivering precise, high-fidelity data. Upgrading with an additional receptor expands the area of coverage up to 24 linear feet. These receptors can be mounted to any surface, making coverage convenient and flexible.

How it works

PATRIOT WIRELESS uses self-contained, embeddable markers tracked by receptors. Markers can attach anywhere on the body or object and receptors are positioned within the intended tracking zone. Each receptor emits a magnetic field, creating a defined area for real-time position and orientation motion data from the markers. No additional calculations are required. 

True Flexibility in Wireless Tracking

PATRIOT WIRELESS offers enhanced flexibility in the realm of wireless tracking. With a small system electronic unit and the ability to add markers and receptors, users can take their tracking to a new level. PATRIOT WIRELESS remains the top choice for users requiring flexibility in short range tracking.
