PPT-H8 (8 sensor system)
The eight sensor system includes eight optical sensors, a PPT processor computer with control software, cable connections, and eight infrared targets. The eight camera system includes the following advantages over the four sensor system: 1) maximum coverage of tracking workspace (practically no ‘dead’ tracking zones), 2) optimal elimination of line-of-sight occlusion, 3) optimal robustness and precision.
PPT-H4 (4 sensor system)
The four sensor system includes four optical sensors, the PPT processing unit, the easy-to-use PPT motion capture software, cable connections, and four infrared targets. The PPT-H system has the following advantages over the original PPT-X system: (1) Higher resolution cameras providing improved sensitivity and accuracy, (2) faster update rates of 175 Hz, (3) improved range up to 45 meters **, (4) ability to track up to 32 targets with up to 32 cameras *.

Ease of Use
The intuitive graphical user interface includes a wizard for instant calibration using a digital calibration board. PPT directly connects to the WorldViz Vizard VR toolkit. DLLs for Windows, and a C source library for Linux are available. Simple streaming or polling via RS-232 serial port 115.2kbs interface, as well as using the industry standard VRPN protocol.
Position & Orientation Tracking
Are you looking for a 6DOF integrated position & orientation real-time tracking solution? WorldViz recommends combining PPT with an inertial orientation technology such as the InertiaCube2™ by InterSense. This hybrid system has proven itself as one of the most powerful and highly reliable full tracking solutions currently available
Calibration
Takes 3 minutes. All systems come with an automatic calibration rig (shown below) that automatically calibrates the entire system - all three axes.
