OptiTrack Motive: Body Achieve Superior Accuracy in Human Motion Analysis
Precision Human Movement Tracking Software Available in Australia from Tracklab.
Unlock the full potential of human movement analysis with OptiTrack Motive: Body, the industry-leading software for precision motion capture. Offered in Australia by Tracklab, Motive: Body provides researchers, animators, and biomechanists with uncommonly simple workflows and impeccably accurate body tracking data. This powerful software is ideal for a wide range of applications, from biomechanics research and sports science to animation and virtual reality.
Precision Full-Body & Finger Tracking
Capture detailed human kinematics, including intricate hand and finger movements, essential for comprehensive biomechanical analysis and realistic animation.
Simplified Workflows & Easy Setup
Experience significantly reduced setup times (by up to 75%) with one-click subject calibration, Aim Assist, auto-masking, and versatile hardware.
High Subject Counts & Large Volume
Track multiple individuals simultaneously within extensive capture volumes. Motive: Body can track up to 2,000 markers with high precision.
Comprehensive Data Management
Benefit from drag-and-drop asset management, integrated Take files (2D, 3D, skeletal data), and verbose metadata.
Robust Kinematic Labeling
Optimized for higher subject counts, accurately labeling complex 3D points during close-proximity interactions.
Flexible Markerset Options
Utilise new, higher-density markersets, including options for hinged-toes and fingers, for better continuity and cleaner solves.
Advanced Data Editing & Post-Processing
Easily fix trajectories, fill gaps, smooth data, and perform manual labeling with an efficient data scrubber.
Open Architecture & Developer Tools
Access data at any pipeline stage with free SDKs (NatNet) for custom integrations and streaming (VRPN, Trackd).
Seamless External Synchronization
Integrate with other devices using Genlock and SMPTE Time Code support (via eSync or OptiHub).

High Subject Counts & Large Volume
Motive:Body delivers a truly open motion capture platform, ideal for high subject counts and large volumes. Access data at any pipeline stage—from 2D camera feeds to skeletal data—and leverage free dev tools, including the Motive API for direct application control.
SMPTE Time Code
Users with an Ethernet-based OptiTrack system and the eSync device can stamp recorded and streamed motion tracking data with SMPTE Time Code for integrating with other media and data in post.
External sync in/out
Synchronize your system to almost any signal or source with the eSync 2 or OptiHub devices. Cameras can be sync’d to external sources such as a professional video Genlock signal, and can also be triggered to record from general purpose inputs and software commands. Motive:Body also broadcasts a simple XML UDP packet with Time Code and take data that elegantly provides start/stop record for triggering remote devices, such as reference video cameras.
