Optitrack Software Development Kit (SDK)

The OptiTrack SDK allows you to create your own tracking applications with ease. You can view multiple Camera Data/Video windows at once, track multiple objects and integrate the data into your own applications. The API is available via COM automation interfaces; these provide compatibility with C/C++, Delphi, Visual Basic, VBScript, and many other languages. You can download the SDK for free to evaluate it today.
