Reflective Artifact for Testing Optical Tracking Systems

Caption

Artifact with six reflective spheres at each end used in NIST's new standard test method for evaluating the performance of optical tracking systems. These systems, similar to home gaming devices that track a player's movements, have many uses, including flight simulators, moving robots around factories, and image-guided surgery.
