IMU + Optical System

This integrated system combines Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) with optical motion capture technology. IMUs provide data on acceleration, angular velocity, and orientation, while optical systems (using cameras to track markers) offer highly accurate 3D position data. The synergy of these two technologies overcomes the limitations of each individually: IMUs suffer from drift over time, which the absolute positioning of optical systems can correct, while optical systems can have occlusion issues that IMUs can compensate for. A special feature is the creation of a robust and highly accurate full-body motion tracking solution, ideal for complex human movement analysis in fields like gait analysis, sports performance, virtual reality, and robotics, providing both precise position and orientation data.

• High Accuracy & Robustness: Combines the strengths of both systems to overcome individual limitations (IMU drift, optical occlusion).
• Comprehensive 3D Motion Tracking: Captures both position (optical) and orientation/dynamics (IMU) for complex movements.
• Reduced Occlusion Issues: IMUs can provide data when optical markers are momentarily obscured.
• Versatile Application: Ideal for highly demanding applications like professional sports analysis, virtual reality, and robotics, where precise and continuous motion data is critical.
