PST Base | Mid Range Optical Tracker

Mid-range precision optical tracking for simulators and compact spaces

The PST Base is PS-tech’s mid-range optical tracker for high-accuracy 6DoF tracking in simulator and training environments. It’s optimized for 1–2 meters working distance (with a tracking range from 20 cm up to 3 m) and balances tracking volume, accuracy, and easy setup—making it a strong choice for automotive, flight, medical, and industrial simulation.

The PST Base HD is the premium option for more demanding close-to-mid-range setups. With a wider field of view and higher refresh rates (up to 200 Hz), it’s ideal when you need more motion freedom while the tracker remains close to the target.

Why choose the PST Base optical tracking system?

Built for simulator and training setups (20 cm to 3 m)

PST Base is designed for small to mid-size tracking volumes where consistent accuracy matters—cockpit trainers, desktop simulators, research benches, and compact industrial rigs.

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

Scalable tracking (PST Base)

Need to cover a larger area later? PST Base supports multi-tracker expansion, with an easy alignment routine, so you can scale your setup as your project grows.

Fast and simple integration

Every PST Base and Base HD ships with the full PST Software Suite, which includes tools for setup, calibration, data streaming, and SDK access. You’ll be up and running quickly, whether you’re integrating into a research environment, training simulator, or production system.

Where PST Base and PST Base HD is used

PST Base is trusted in simulator and training environments that require high-accuracy optical tracking at mid-range distances — with flexible coverage and scalable expansion.

Simulator & training systems

Automotive, flight, and operator training rigs where reliable 6DoF tracking is required at mid-range distance.

Desktop & compact installations

Great for labs and workstations where you need precise tracking without a large camera setup.

Medical simulation & research

Supports repeatable motion tracking for instruments, head tracking, and interactive training scenarios.

Multi-object tracking

Track head + tools + props at the same time (supporting multiple independent tracked bodies).

Embedded / OEM integration

The form factor and tracking area optimization allow the PST-Bae and Base HD to be directly integrated into products, medical devices or research prototypes as an embedded optical tracking module.
