What the Viper Active Tracking Camera Is Designed For
The Viper is an active tracking camera designed to capture and track objects, people, and props in real time using LED-based active marker technology. It is built for applications that require reliable, low-latency tracking across large or complex spaces.
It is primarily used in location-based VR, immersive experiences, and real-time tracking environments where multiple users or objects need to be tracked simultaneously. By using active markers instead of passive ones, the Viper delivers stable tracking with reduced occlusion and improved visibility.
With its compact design, high frame rate, and wide field of view, the Viper is engineered to provide consistent, high-performance tracking in both standalone setups and integrated Vicon systems
