Infrared Tracker Infrared trackers are sometimes called optical trackers. They are one of five discrete kinds of tracker used for 3D positioning in VR hardware. Worn light reflectors are used, together with fixed camears to receive reflected light. If enough are used, it does not matter if some are occluded by body parts. Below, we offer a selection of links from our resource databases which may match this term.

The Trazer by Cybex Incorporated. Billed as a virtual reality exercise machine, this $6,495 USD (?3,300) machine tracks an infrared belt worn by the exerciser, and uses changes in the position of that, and senses of increase or decrease in heat rate, to determine how much they are exercising.

 Neuroprosthetics along with less invasive brain machine interfaces have really gone from strength to strength over the past decade. However, all of them are still detecting or modifying signals that are electrical in nature, whilst the brain itself is electrochemical. Now, from a rather unlikely source, comes the first evidence that a chemical detector and tracker is actually possible inside a complex multicellular structure.
