Polhemus pioneered motion tracking over 40 years ago, introducing head tracking technology for the U.S. Military—something we still do today. Continuing to offer cost effective solutions has paved the way for other leading markets, including virtual reality, biomechanics, and health care. Along with their accuracy, low latency and simplicity, Polhemus motion trackers provide 6 Degree-Of-Freedom measurement, with sensors that are easily embedded and affordable. This has made Polhemus technology a top choice for use in some of the world’s most sophisticated and commercially successful VR training simulators. Polhemus technology powers VRSim’s SimWelder™welding simulator and Medsim’s UltraSim™ ultrasound simulator just to name a few. Polhemus continues to bring new products to market—the latest being G4™—the wearable, wireless tracker designed with virtual reality, rehabilitation, human factors and biomechanics in mind. G4 is completely tether-free, yet still provides 6DOF high-fidelity motion tracking with the accuracy and ease of use Polhemus electromagnetics is known for.
