Tracking and filming systems, built for scientific work.

DART-Mo reads your motion-capture data stream and aims the camera in real time — keeping subjects framed in motion.

What DART-Mo does differently

A camera designed for the moments that won't repeat.

Built for the behaviours, experiments, and scenarios where the subject cannot be paused, the camera operator cannot keep up, and the data has to be right the first time.

Real-time aim

A two-mirror steering system reorients the line of sight at up to 500 Hz — accurate to 0.1°, with adaptive focus.

Mocap-native

Integrates with the motion-capture system you already have — OptiTrack, Vicon, or Qualisys. Pick a tracked body or marker and DART-Mo follows it.

Adaptive optics

Set the zoom for your shot, and focus adapts in real time — keeping the subject sharp as it moves through the capture space.

End-to-end workflow

DART Live software runs on macOS, Windows and Linux. Track, capture, playback, export, analyse — without leaving the loop.

Services across every stage

From the first lead question through to the final dataset.

Each line of our work supports a different stage of the research process — from optics on the bench, to the software loop that captures the data, to the bespoke instruments that don't exist anywhere else yet.

The instrument · DART-Mo

A camera that follows the subject, not the storyboard.

Two mirrors steer the line of sight, focus adapts as the subject moves, and DART Live runs the loop — on top of the OptiTrack, Vicon or Qualisys system you already have. Each unit is built to order in the UK around the sensor and optics your work needs.
