About ART

Who we are

Advanced Realtime Tracking GmbH & Co. KG (ART) offers comprehensive object tracking and localization capabilities for a wide range of applications, including customized solutions.

Since 1999, ART has been one of the leading manufacturers of high-quality optical motion tracking systems for virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR). Typical applications include visualizations and optimizations in design and production steps, motion capture for ergonomic studies, and teaching and research projects at academic institutions using powerwalls, CAVEs, and HMDs. In this area of "marker-based tracking," we offer not only tracking systems and the DTRACK tracking software, but also our selection of unique interaction and navigation devices, as well as accessories such as flysticks and finger tracking, which are specifically designed for high-precision operation in VR/AR applications.

Milestones of ART - Advanced Realtime Tracking 25 years many products

A particular strength of ART is the customization of products for niche markets, such as a specially designed optical tracking solution to minimize disruptive light influences in multi-sided projection systems and optimized camera sizes for limited tracking areas such as in moving vehicles and aircraft cockpits.

Innovation for Industrial Applications

With new approaches in optics and image processing, ART is continuously improving its expertise in sophisticated and intelligent solutions for  position detection and localization.

Our tool tracking solutions are the resulting applications. In various projects, ART has been asked by its partners and customers to find solutions for applications under industrial conditions, i.e., no longer under laboratory conditions. With our tool tracking, tool mounting positions can be identified and assembly processes can be corrected.
