7 Hybrid tracking
With introduction of v2.14.0 DTrack2 supports advanced sensor fusion of optical and in-
ertial tracking data.
Compatible hybrid targets available from ART are communicating with the DTrack2 sys-
tem either via wireless 2.4 GHz ISM radio connection or via wired USB connection.
7.1 Hybrid motion capture suit
Wireless hybrid targets are distributed together with an antenna and two wireless transceivers
(’Dongles’) for communication with the inertial sensors as a part of our Hybrid Motion Cap-
ture suit. Please also refer to table 3.3 on page 28.
7.1.1 Connecting the wireless transceivers
First connect the USB plugs of the transceivers (’Dongles’) to any free USB port of the
controller using the supplied extension cables. The dongles are activated after rebooting
the controller or calling DTrack2 → Search hardware.
Z
Be sure just to use active (USB 2.0) extension cables (like the supplied
’ATEN UE250’) to connect the transceivers (’Dongles’) to an ART Con-
troller. Otherwise proper function of the transceivers cannot be guar-
anteed.
Now within DTrack2 go to the menu Settings → Inertial Sensor and open the Settings
sub-dialogue (see figure 7.1 on page 107) to check that all attached dongles have been
found showing the following
Dongle properties:
• Device ID dongle
• Model (Dongle USB)
• Name (n/a)
• Firmware Version
• Currently used radio channel (default: 35 / 55); use the drop-down menu to change
the radio channel
