  • Tetherless Magnetic Motion Tracking

    At ASB 2010 in Providence last year, Polhemus introduced G4, its 4th generation motion measurement system. Since then, system integrators have introduced application software which leverages the G4’s accuracy, speed, and scalable range for:

    • Biomechanics
    • Sports Motion Analysis
    • Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy
    • Virtual Realty

    What is most exciting for biomechanics applications is that you can now have the performance of magnetic motion tracking without the tether wires. Subjects are free to move within large spaces while the G4 streams true 6DOF data via wireless RF link to the host PC. And because G4 uses Polhemus’ magnetic tracking technology, there are no line-of-sight occlusions or marker swapping, no sensitivity to ambient light, no drift and no calibration.

    If you’re concerned about distortion due to metal in the environment, please contact us. In our 40 years of supplying precision motion measurement technology we’ve learned how to track accurately around metal. We can track human movement on treadmills, in pools and even in aircraft cockpits.

    We have posted the specifications and a video outlining the performance and capabilities of this new 6DOF motion tracker on our website: http://www.polhemus.com/?page=Motion_G4

    Can you link to the specs once those are available? How many markers can each unit run, for instance?

      Hi Andrew, Here is a link to the G4 product spec sheet: http://www.polhemus.com/polhemus_edi...20Brochure.pdf

      Each "hub" can accomodate three (3) sensors. Nine (9) hubs (and therefore 27 sensors) can be running simultaneously. If you have further questions, I'd be happy to discuss them. My direct e-mail: neil@polhemus.com

      Thank you!
