Marker data. Video data. Same cameras. Same capture. Only possible with OptiTrack.

With Duplex Mode in Motive, OptiTrack systems can capture marker data and grayscale video at the same time, enabling both markered and markerless workflows from a single camera ecosystem.

Here’s what that looks like in motion: jiu jitsu captured with avatar playback in Motive and synchronized video with marker overlays.

One system. Two workflows. More ways to capture movement.

What if calibrating a large motion capture volume could be as simple as launching a drone?

As part of Oregon State University’s Senior Capstone program, this student team explored a new approach to automating OptiTrack calibration in large or difficult-to-access spaces.

Using a drone, custom 3D-printed components, SLAM mapping, and automated flight paths, the project points toward a future where complex tracking environments can be calibrated faster, safer, and with less manual setup.

Proud to support the next generation of engineers pushing motion capture forward.

On Memorial Day, we remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

We’re blessed to live in a beautiful place, to do meaningful work, and to enjoy freedoms made possible by sacrifices we can never fully repay.

Today, we remember.

When two of your engineers are also competitive downhill racers, you take motion capture into the forest! VersaX cameras strapped to trees. Markers on riders. Full tracking at 30mph through the Pacific Northwest wilderness. Jamison and Nico head to the race course today and all we have to say is SEND IT 🔥🚀

Our HQ couldn't fit the test, so we took the new ActiveIO Wand to the railroad tracks outside and started walking. At 100+ meters, in broad daylight, every marker was still shining bright.

What does it take to deliver mission-ready VR training at real operational scale?

Our latest case study with @varmed_inc explores how OptiTrack powers large-scale immersive simulations for law enforcement, first responders, and military teams - and highlights real-world deployments enabled by OptiTrack, including active shooter preparedness, explosives-threat training, and radiation response scenarios.

Not only IP66 rated, but mosquito rated too. 🦟

We took a dozen VersaX 120s deep into an Oregon old-growth forest for a mountain biking shoot - dirt, moisture, uneven terrain, and enough mosquitos to qualify as an environmental stress test. The cameras performed flawlessly, as did our team thanks to DEET.

Stay tuned for some epic outdoor tracking content. 🌲🚵‍♂️

From Arctic testing to the show floor, Horizon Guardian shows what immersive defense training can look like. Developed by Applied Virtual Simulation, the counter-UAS trainer combines OptiTrack tracking technology with Varjo XR to deliver precise weapon tracking, realistic spatial awareness, and repeatable training for modern drone threats. See it in action at #ITEC2026 at both Varjo Stand M40 or AVS Stand R20.

See us 👀 at @lavalvirtual this week! Most systems make you choose between marker-based and markerless, or require separate hardware for both. OptiTrack Duplex Mode is the only true hybrid solution that enables both from the same cameras. See it live at Europe’s largest XR show thanks to our partner @Immersion3D at stand M16.

At OptiTrack, we believe the future of robotics is built by students who get to design, test, fail, improve, and compete. Proud to sponsor Spartan Robotics, FIRST FRC Team 997, and to play a small part in helping make that journey possible.

[OptiTrack @optitrack]

From immersive AR demos to Duplex Mode in action, GDC 2026 was a great opportunity to show what’s possible with OptiTrack motion capture.

We enjoyed connecting with developers, creators, and partners throughout the week and sharing demos that brought marker-based and markerless tracking together in one system - a capability exclusive to OptiTrack!

In honor of today’s Artemis II launch, we’re looking a little farther ahead. Because if humanity is going back to the Moon, someone is eventually going to need motion capture up there. Introducing the first off-world optical tracking system, powered by OptiTrack.
