Title:

    BraTrack: a low-cost marker-based optical stereo tracking system

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    Optical motion tracking systems are widely employed in virtual and mixed reality applications enabling users to directly interact with 3D space. Important efforts have been made to make such technologies available to a larger group of users by significantly reducing their deployment costs. In this poster we introduce the result of a German-Brazilian cooperation: The first commercial low-cost marker-based optical tracking system developed in South-America. Despite using cheaper technologies and being low-cost which usually imply worse performance and accuracy, we developed a system with sufficient accuracy for professional use.
