How many people or objects can be tracked at once by an OptiTrack system?

The number of people or objects, called assets, that can be tracked with an OptiTrack system varies based on multiple influencing factors. Some of these factors include: The size and type of markers; marker counts in each asset; the size and setting of the capture volume; the machine specification of the host PC; the type of camera models; and the number of cameras in the system. Depending on how these factors are optimized, the maximum number of trackable assets may vary substantially.

For this reason, it is difficult to state a maximum number for trackable assets. The Build Your Own feature on our website will provide some recommended guidelines to follow when selecting camera types and volume configurations.

If you wish to track higher number of rigid bodies or people than the number indicated from the Build Your Own, consult with one of our Sales Engineers to find out which system setup is appropriate for a particular application.
