Groundbreaking Precision Meets Long-Range Performance
OptiTrack, a global pioneer in 3D optical tracking, has introduced the Primeˣ 260 and Slimˣ 260, the latest additions to the 260 X-Series. Engineered to deliver unmatched accuracy in expansive environments, these cameras set a new standard for long-range motion capture. With a 26 MP sensor and a stated 3D accuracy of ±0.050 mm, the Primeˣ 260 and Slimˣ 260 pair high-resolution imaging with precise spatial tracking, enabling applications from biomechanics research to film production and advanced robotics.
Advanced Optics, High-Resolution Capture
At the heart of the 260 X-Series is a high-resolution 26 MP sensor that captures more detail over greater distances. The Primeˣ 260 is designed for fast, large-volume capture, delivering crisp 3D data for complex scenes. The Slimˣ 260, optimized for space-constrained environments, offers the same core precision with a form-factor tailored to narrow capture zones. Together, they provide consistent, repeatable data across varied studio layouts and lab configurations.
Why 0.050 mm 3D Accuracy Matters
In motion capture, tiny deviations can cascade into significant errors during analysis, animation, or robotic control. OptiTrack’s claimed ±0.050 mm accuracy translates into cleaner skeletal data, more reliable kinematic measurements, and smoother animation pipelines. This level of precision is particularly impactful in biomechanical studies, gait analysis, and high-fidelity animation, where even fractional millimeter improvements can enhance interpretation and realism.
Key Features for Demanding Environments
- Ultra-Long Range: Designed to cover large studios and outdoor-adjacent spaces without sacrificing data integrity.
- High-Resolution Imaging: 26 MP captures finer detail at extended distances, improving marker detection and pose estimation.
- Consistency Across Units: Tight calibration and synchronization deliver uniform performance across the 260 X-Series.
- Robust Data Throughput: Streamlines large-scale experiments and complex motion sequences without bottlenecks.
Applications Across Industries
From film and virtual production to sports science and robotics, the Primeˣ 260 and Slimˣ 260 address the needs of professionals who require precise, scalable tracking. In motion capture for filmmaking, the devices simplify scene management, enabling high-quality captures with fewer cameras. In biomechanics, researchers gain more accurate joint angle data and movement patterns, supporting deeper insights into human motion. For robotics and automation, the 3D precision enhances calibration, simulation, and real-time control.
Integration, Workflow, and Support
As part of OptiTrack’s ecosystem, the Primeˣ 260 and Slimˣ 260 integrate with established software for markerless and marker-based tracking, data export, and real-time visualization. The cameras are designed for straightforward calibration, streaming, and compatibility with existing lab or studio infrastructure. OptiTrack’s support network and updated documentation help teams optimize setup, calibration routines, and data pipelines for maximum return on investment.
Future-Proofing Your Motion Capture
OptiTrack’s 260 X-Series is built with growth in mind, enabling researchers and professionals to push the boundaries of motion capture across larger volumes and more demanding scenes. The Primeˣ 260 and Slimˣ 260 set a new expectation for precision, reliability, and scalability—ensuring studios and labs can tackle increasingly complex projects with confidence.
