The Micro Sensor 1.8™ is one of the latest breakthroughs from Polhemus. This micro sensor tracking element utilizes our proprietary AC electromagnetic technology, weighs in at less than a gram, and measures only 1.8 millimeters in OD (outer diameter). These sensors come in both Standard and Flex models, with the Flex offering a less rigid cable option.
Small and lightweight, it packs an enormous amount of capability into its size, providing both position and orientation data at speeds up to 240 Hz (frames of data per second).
Like all of our motion tracking technology, the new Micro Sensor 1.8 requires no line-of-sight to continuously track its position and orientation. Better still, these sensors are completely embeddable into a variety of custom form factors: ideal for fitting inside a traditional catheter; a head-worn device, such as an HMD; simulated medical tools; or even slipped under gloves or clothing. This makes the Micro Sensor 1.8 an ideal tracking solution for applications requiring small-scale sensor size without sacrificing accuracy and precision.
