The VZ4050 tracker offers all features currently available with the Visualeyez VZ4000v, at half the form factor! Effectively measuring only 62cm in length and weighing in at 2.2kgs (4.9lbs), the VZ4050 offers real-time active optical motion capture through the patented 90° wide-angle technology.

Markers can be sensed from as close as 25cm and as far as 7m away. A single VZ4050 can be used to capture 3D motion data from up to 512 uniquely identified markers in real-time, and multiple VZ4050 units can be strung together to capture a larger area or motions from multiple subjects and objects.

All VZ4050 trackers come with the new 'Distributed Tactile Feedback' capability. This allows them to activate the vibrator-equipped markers to vibrate and thus provide tactile stimuli or cues to motion capture subject(s).

The new small form factor at 62cm opens up real-time capture research possibilities in areas such as human factor engineering, cockpit pilot-instrument interaction, car driver-dashboard interaction analysis, in-vehicle crash test monitoring, Virtual Reality, Virtual Training, Augmented Reality, etc. This is further facilitated by PTI's unique Automatic and Continuous Multi-Tracker System Calibration capability provided through VZAutoCal and by the latest Instant Continuous Multi-Tracker System Calibration capability provided through VZInstaCal for flexible environments.

Each VZ4050 tracker features a thermal-cycled rigid carbon composite construction for permanent calibration accuracy and stability, with a lightweight aluminum shell. The optional elegantly designed custom aluminum tripod also doubles as a heavy duty protective case during tracker transportation.
