Intersense

Intersense’s unique inertial-ultrasonic products support its users in creating products and applications that allow anyone – from product designers, computer and internet game-developers and players, to scientists, teachers and students, assembly line workers, and video and film production companies – to interact with virtual 3D images just as they do physical objects.

The combination of inertial and ultrasonic technologies ensures that the system is immune to metallic interference, while offering smooth, robust real-time tracking in demanding environments

IS-900

The IS-900 product family delivers extremely precise and accurate wide area, interference free, head, hand and object tracking for the most demanding 3D applications. From ActiveCubes to ActiveMoves, the IS-900 is a proven solution to offer precision motion tracking, giving accurate and smooth movements with low latency to enable realistic, intuitive interaction between the user and the application content. Precise installation of the equipment is a complex process requiring the use of a theodolite and mapping software – Virtalis is highly experienced in this task, having installed dozens and dozens of IS-900 systems in recent years.

It is available with wireless, miniaturised precision tracking devices (nicknamed “chirpers”) and is offered in the following configurations:

IS-900 PCI Tracker – Cost-effective 3D volume tracking system
IS-900 SimTracker - Provides precision tracking for cockpit simulators
IS-900 VET Virtual Environment Tracker - Full 3D volume tracking for immersive display systems

 

“You can set this tracking system up and leave it alone and it will continue to give very good accuracy. I think it is the most versatile tracking system you can get and it is scalable. We’ve used it mostly for implementing holographic multi-projector systems, tracking both eye and hand on large screen. It is the tracker we use in our own Demo Room.” - Adrian Scarlett, Installation Engineer

IS-900 PCI Tracker

The cost effective PCI Tracker has been designed specifically to take advantage of fast, Windows-based computers running with modern graphics engines for the budget conscious user. The wired MiniTrax tracking devices and 2ft or 4ft SoniStrips plug into the IS-900 PCTracker Hub, which interfaces via PCI Bus. The IS-900 PCTracker Hub will support a maximum of two MiniTrax devices and four SoniStrips (nine emitters).  It is capable of tracking a space of 9m2.

IS-900 SimTracker

The IS-900 SimTracker system includes one IS-900 VWT processor, one SoniWing fixed frame and one wired or wireless MiniTrax Head Tracker. The SoniWing is a fixed frame that consists of six ultrasonic emitters that will track the volume of a standard cockpit simulator. The SoniWing does not require calibration or sighting. The SimTracker can track a space up to 20m2 and interfaces via ethernet or RS-232 connection.

IS-900 VET

The IS-900 VETracker provides full 3D volume tracking for immersive display systems such as ActiveCubes and ActiveWalls.  One MiniTrax head tracker and a six-button MiniTrax Wand Tracker is included and the IS-900 VET is available in either wired or wireless options. It is capable of tracking a space of up to 140m2.  

Other Intersense Products

IS-1200

The IS-1200 product family, based on advanced image processing and sensor fusion techniques, is the most advanced and accurate motion tracking product that Intersense offers.  For military users, the IS-1200 LandHawk is an inertial-optical helmet tracking system for ground vehicles and aircrafts.

InertiaCube2+

Integrating nine discreet miniature inertial sensing elements with advanced Kalman filtering algorithms, the InertiaCube2+ is a full 360° sourceless orientation sensor that delivers smooth, precise angular measurements.

InertiaCube3

Intersense’s smallest and most accurate orientation sensor, the InertiaCube3 is ideal for simulation, training and industrial OEM applications. The sensor offers a low-profile, rugged aluminum enclosure which enables easy integration into any tracked solution. It is available wired or wireless.

InertiaCube4

The InertiaCube 4 offers the best performance of the InertiaCube range because it integrates the latest in MEMS inertial technology and utilises advanced Kalman filtering algorithms.  This has resulted in a precision inertial orientation sensor which is ideal for real-time applications thanks to its 360o sourceless orientation.

InertiaCube BT

The InertiaCube BT is the latest product in the InertiaCube family of sensors. It provides real-time orientation data of motion via a standard Bluetooth interface to the computer. With an integrated rechargeable battery (up to 8 hours continuous use) and versatile, secure mounting straps, the InertiaCube BT is ideal for human movement analysis.
