OptiTrack To Showcase Its Signature Pulse Active Tracking Technology At GDC 2019

OptiTrack’s tracking technology is used by location-based entertainment (LBE) centres specialising in virtual reality (VR) around the world, and at GDC 2019 this week the company is showcasing its latest tech. Guests at the expo will be able to see OptiTrack’s latest six degrees of freedom (6DoF) system with its Signature Pulse Active tracking technology, via a custom-built demo based around Jenga blocks.“We wanted to highlight some of the things that make OptiTrack technology so popular with the world’s location-based VR professionals, so we developed a live show that demonstrates that our systems track everything, which allows LBVR experience designers to fully express their creativity, without worrying about technical limits,” said Brian Nilles, CSO at OptiTrack in a statement. “So we built an LBVR set that will track everything within it, including two sets of Jenga blocks, which people can play live – and in VR, and we embedded our Active tracking tech in everything else in the experience in order to open people’s imaginations to the possibilities.”
