Quick Points:
*Latency is quoted at 30ms but customers claim
<5ms in "raw mode"
*Works in noisy environments full of hiss like
Lockheed's CCTT Tank simulators
*Noise can be further handled with filtering and
special noise absorbing foam
*Speakers & Microphones can be removed from
skins and embedded almost anywhere including
gloves, monitors, walls, HMDs, shutter glasses,
etc.
*No electromagnetic metal & display
interference or EMI health concerns
*Used in synthetic simulation / virtual reality /
cave environments
*Manufactured in the U.S. - MORE SPECS
BELOW
* Customers: EDS, Evans
& Sutherland, HP, IBM, Lockheed Martin (for
CCTT Tank Simulators), Pulau, Rockwell, Sun,
United Defense, R&D facilities and
Universities.
Components
Headtracker
Transmitter. This is triangular in shape and each
of the three corners has a speaker that emits
ultrasonic signals. Size, 275 x 194 x 30
mm.
3D Mouse
Transmitter: About the same size as the
Headtracker Transmitter but instead of thick
straight sides, it has curved thin ergonomic
design.
Headtracker
Receiver. This is a smaller triangle than the
transmitter and contains 3 miniature microphones
that sense the ultrasonic signals. Size, 83 x 67
x 8 mm.
3D Mouse
Reciever. These have five buttons and can either
be free flying handheld (3D) or desktop (2D)
devices. When the suspend button is pressed, the
mouse can act as a microphone for audio input.
The flying mouse
uses ultrasonic sensors to sense its position in
all 6-DoF.
Control box.
Connected like a modem to the computer,
transmitter and receiver. The tracker software
calculates the position of the receiver based on
triangulation from the relative times of the
three ultrasonic signals.
Multiple systems.
Up to four 3D mice and head trackers can be
connected to act synchronously in a master/slave
configuration.
Description
of Operation
The Head Tracker
consists of a transmitter, helmet-mountable
receiver and control box and is typically mounted
into head mounted displays or into eyewear for
Virtual Reality and Simulation
applications. 3D Mouse is a precise free
flying handheld (3D) or desktop (2D) device
typically used in object manipulation for CAD and
Virtual Reality, but can also manipulate
viewpoints. The 5 button 3D mouse is able to
alternatively act as a microphone for audio input
when the suspend button is pressed.
Both devices
contain mounting holes to facilitate mounting in
a wide variety of configurations. A control box
is connected to both devices and determines the
position of the receiver based on the timing of
the microphone signals. The transmitter
contains 3 speakers which emit ultrasonic signals
and the receiver contains 3 miniature microphones
to sense these signals. The transmitter and
receiver communicate along a line of sight,
facing each other. Up to 4 - 3D Mice
and Headtrackers can be connected to act
synchronously, in a master - slave hardware
configuration and software can hook many 4 sensor
pods together.. SEE SPECS BELOW.
Software 3D Mouse
and Head Tracker are shipped with driver software
and source code for PC and SGI platforms
available for free downloaded at the link
below. In addition, many companies
including VAR's have developed software or full
application toolkits to make life easier for
customers. Some include: Catia, Sun, Fakespace,
Alias|WAVEFRONT, Division, SuperScape, EDS /
Unigraphics / Sense8, Autodesk / AutoCad,
VREAM, Avatar Partners, RPI, Spectrum Dynamics,

Logitech VR
Kit (1 Headtracker & 1 3D Mouse together
capable of simultaneous use) Up to 4 - 3D
Mice and Headtrackers can be connected to act
synchronously, in a master - slave hardware
configuration and software can hook many 4 sensor
pods together. If you need more than 1
Mouse & 1 Headtracker, there is no price
penalty for buying them all separately.
