ActiveIO
OptiTrack’s next-generation active tracking platform. Smarter markers, longer range, and real-time device communication — engineered for the volumes that matter most.
ActiveIO redefines active tracking with unmatched scalability, resilience, instant two-way sync, and reliable precision across the world’s most demanding environments.
Where ActiveIO Goes to Work
Virtual Production
In-camera VFX demands tracking that holds steady under hot lights, fast pans, and live action. ActiveIO delivers real-time 6DoF tracking with IMU sensor fusion that stays accurate through brief occlusions. For hero shots, the Wired CinePuck offers the highest fidelity available in the OptiTrack lineup — backed by 32-bit IMU precision and a guaranteed wired connection.
Training & Simulation
For tactical training and large-scale simulation, ActiveIO is built to work the first time, every time. High-power Wand and Square markers stay visible well past 30 meters. The IP67-rated BaseStation is built for permanent outdoor deployment. And GPIO ports let you wire controllers, sensors, or weapons-mounted devices directly into Motive — turning any input into a live signal in your sim environment.
Virtual Reality
Location-based VR demands tracking that scales across identical headsets, identical props, and multiple players. ActiveIO HMD Clips snap onto headsets like the HTC Vive Focus 3. Embedded Tag-8s give every prop a unique identity without custom marker patterns. And GPIO turns any wand or weapon into a live input — streamed into your render engine via NatNet with the low latency operators need.
