hi holger,
how are things?

we used the IS-900 at siggraph. the quality was ok, but it's not
wireless....

>
> * passive Markers (i.e. wireless)
> * supports up to 10 Targets (6dof each; head, interaction device or
> other)
> * accurate: RMS = 0.25 mm and 0.12 deg in medium sized (3x3m) system
> * frame rates up to 60 Hz, delay ca. 25 to 40 ms
> * fast and easy to set up
> * system size is scalable
> * "self made targets" can easily be calibrated and tracked
> * can be used with "Crystal Eyes" shutter eyewear
> * wireless "Flying Joystick" is available
>
> I do not know if also the price will fit to your needs: a medium sized
> system, that covers a tracking area of about 3 x 3 meters, costs in the
> range of $ 50 K.
