The PST Pico is the smallest optical tracker in the PST family, engineered for short-range, high-accuracy tracking in compact environments. About the size of a pair of glasses and weighing less than 0.2 kg, it is easy to mount on monitors, simulators, head-mounted displays (HMDs), or embedded into custom systems.
With a tracking range starting from just 5 cm and extending up to 1.5 m, the PST Pico delivers reliable positional tracking where space is extremely limited. A wide field of view ensures stable performance even in tight setups.
The PST Pico is purpose-built for close-range optical tracking.(5 cm to 1.5 m) It performs where other motion tracking systems struggle — in desktop, simulator, and HMD setups where every centimeter matters.
At just 15 × 4 × 4 cm (W×H×D) and weighing < 0.2 kg, the PST Pico can be integrated almost anywhere. Its minimal footprint makes it an excellent fit for embedded systems and portable simulators.
Even in compact spaces, the PST Pico’s wide field of view enables stable, low-latency tracking without constant repositioning. Mount it to a monitor, a cockpit panel, or an HMD housing and get consistent motion data.
Every PST Pico ships with the full PST Software Suite, which includes tools for setup, calibration, data streaming, and SDK access. You’ll be up and running quickly, whether you’re integrating into a research environment, training simulator, or production system.

PST Pico is trusted in environments that demand accurate optical tracking at short distance — without the bulk of a large tracking system.
Track head position and orientation in VR / AR headsets and helmet-mounted displays. Ideal for pilot training, medical simulation and immersive operator training.
Add precision tracking to fixed workstations, research benches, or control stations without requiring a large tracking volume.
Perfect for cockpit trainers, maintenance trainers, procedure simulators and other operator training systems where components sit close to the user.
The small form factor and light weight allow the PST Pico to be built directly into products or research prototypes as an embedded optical tracking module.
Use the PST Pico in test benches, robotics labs, and human–machine interface experiments where you need repeatable, measurable motion tracking at close range.
PST Pico is a compact optical tracking system from PS-tech designed for accurate, short-range tracking at distances starting from just 5 cm. It is ideal for HMD tracking, simulators, and other setups where the tracking target is physically close to the sensor.
The tracker measures only 15 × 4 × 4 cm (W×H×D) and weighs less than 0.2 kg, making it easy to mount even on lightweight rigs.
The PST Pico includes access to the PST Software Suite, including PST Client, PST SDK and data transfer utilities for integration. This makes it straightforward to stream tracking data into your application or simulation environment.
Yes. Because of its minimal size and weight, PST Pico can be integrated directly into head-mounted systems, training simulators, medical devices, and research prototypes as an embedded optical tracking module.
Absolutely. If you later need to track in a larger space or at longer distances, you can move to PST Base / PST Base HD or PST Iris / PST Iris HD without changing supplier. We support full system families.
