⚙️ PST Software Suite
The PST Software Suite gives you complete control over your optical tracking system — from live setup to full integration. The PST Client offers an intuitive interface to configure, visualize, and fine-tune your tracker in real time. Easily manage and create tracking targets, adjust filters, and align setups — all without writing a single line of code. 
The PST SDK provides full control for OEMs and Integrators. It is a robust developer toolkit for integrating tracking data directly into your application. It supports C++, Python, and C# APIs, with compatibility for VRPN, TrackD, REST, and CSV export — available on both Windows and Linux.
🔬 Technology Explained
How Optical Tracking Works
PS-Tech systems use stereoscopic infrared cameras to detect reflective markers in 3D space. Each marker is triangulated in real time, enabling precise 6DoF tracking of tools, objects, or people. This passive marker approach ensures zero interference, ultra-low latency, and sub-millimeter accuracy — ideal for demanding applications.
🧠 Why Optical Tracking?
Optical tracking is non-invasive, reliable, and scalable. Unlike electromagnetic or inertial systems, it’s contactless, immune to metal distortion, and easily scales from desktop to large tracking volumes. With no cables or magnetic interference, it delivers the most consistent and repeatable data in controlled environments such as operating rooms, research labs, and VR simulations.
🔧 Modular & Customizable & 🧭 Integration Support
From hardware flexibility to hands-on guidance, PS-Tech delivers tailored solutions for every stage of your workflow.
Our systems are designed to adapt — whether you need a compact form factor, wider tracking volume, or seamless software integration.
And we don’t stop at hardware. With dedicated integration support, we work alongside medical device manufacturers, research labs, and industrial OEMs. From concept to deployment, we provide technical expertise, code samples, and workflow consulting to ensure your solution scales reliably and performs flawlessly.
