PST Iris

PST Iris | Long Range Optical Tracking

Long-range precision optical tracking for large volumes and immersive simulators

The PST Iris is PS-Tech’s long-range optical tracking system designed for larger tracking volumes and extended working distances. It delivers high-accuracy 6DoF tracking across expansive simulator setups, immersive environments, and industrial research applications.

The PST Iris HD is the high-performance variant, offering a wider field of view and higher refresh rates, making it ideal for demanding applications where speed, motion freedom, and responsiveness are critical.

If your setup exceeds the compact range of Pico or Base systems and requires greater distance coverage with stable precision, Iris is the solution.

Why choose the PST Iris optical tracking system?

Designed for large tracking volumes (>1.5m)

The PST Iris line offers real-time tracking and seamless integration, with improved accuracy at distances beyond 1.5 meters and range between 50 cm and 5 meters.

Built for full-scale simulators and immersive environments

The PST Iris line is designed for long-range tracking in demanding fields like automotive, medical, and industrial simulations

This makes the Iris perfect for room-scale simulators, powerwalls, immersive solutions, and setups where the tracker cannot be positioned close to the target.

Plug-and-play workflow (calibration-free operation)

Both models ship pre-calibrated and are designed for a smooth setup:

Plug and play installation
One-click origin definition (dedicated tool included)
Integrated IR illumination (850 nm) with adjustable flash in the PST Software Suite

Multi-tracker scalability (PST Iris)

Covering a large space or immersive simulator dome? PST Iris enables multi-tracker setups with an efficient alignment workflow to seamlessly expand the tracking area.

Fast and simple integration

PST Iris and Iris HD include the full PST Software Suite, as standard — offering intuitive setup tools, calibration utilities, live data streaming, and developer SDK access. Whether you’re building a simulator or integrating into a production workflow, getting started is seamless.

PST Iris FAQ

When should I choose Iris instead of Base?

Choose PST Iris when your setup requires longer working distances and larger tracking volumes.
Choose PST Base for compact to mid-range simulator setups.

What’s the difference between Iris and Iris HD?

PST Iris HD provides higher refresh rates, a wider field of view (2.5 times the tracking volume) and lower latency.
It’s best for high-dynamic motion and premium simulator performance.

What tracking distance does PST Iris support?

Between 50 cm and 5 meters.

What software is included?

Each PST tracker includes the PST Software Suite, including tools for setup, calibration workflow, and SDK/data streaming integration.

Can I track multiple objects?

Yes—all PST trackers support multiple tracked bodies (e.g., head + object tracking) using passive or active markers.

Can I expand the tracking area?

Yes. PST Iris support multi-tracker expansion with straightforward alignment.
