Motive 3.5 ### Motive 3.5.0 Beta 1 #### **Full Feature List** * [**ActiveIO**](/activeio.md) is OptiTrack’s next-generation active tracking platform. ActiveIO devices combine uniquely identifiable active markers with bidirectional communication, automatic firmware updates, onboard IMU data (Inertial Measurement Unit), GPIO support (General Purpose Input/Output), persistent device settings, and real-time device status information. For large-scale VR, simulation, ICVFX (In-Camera Visual Effects), stage tracking, and entertainment environments, ActiveIO makes active tracking easier to deploy, monitor, and manage. * **Uniquely Blinking (IO) Markers** - ActiveIO blinks the markers on/off (IO) in binary patterns to uniquely identify individual markers, even in environments with many active devices or IR light sources. * **Input and Output (IO) of Data** - Bidirectional communication from the tags allows them to send status and telemetry data back to Motive, including battery level, wireless signal information, and other device metrics. Motive can also send information back to the device, including selection state and configuration updates. * **Automatic Firmware Updates** - Motive can now manage firmware updates for ActiveIO devices automatically, helping users deploy new features, bug fixes, and device improvements more easily through Motive software updates. * **IMU Data on Every Device** - Every ActiveIO device includes onboard IMU capability for sensor fusion workflows. IMU data can be enabled or disabled depending on the needs of the application and the configuration/scale of the system. * **Quality of Service** - The tags now have the ability to send IMU data multiple times per frame while varying the radio channel. This means in environments with heavy wireless traffic, Faraday cages, and other RF interference, there is a tool to improve the connection quality of individual tags. * **Compatibility with Active Classic Devices** - ActiveIO devices use the same Pattern Group scheme for choosing marker IDs, enabling older Active Classic devices and newer ActiveIO devices to be used at the same time. Users should take care when configuring mixed systems, as older Active devices might not reliably report their Pattern Group. * **Claim, Advertise, and Release** - ActiveIO devices initialize in an advertising state, which means that any instance of Motive (or the Camera SDK) can see the device and claim it. When a device is claimed, that system is the only one that can use the device. Releasing the device puts it back into an advertising state so that a different instance of Motive can claim it. This workflow allows for ActiveIO devices to be moved between systems or locked to a particular system easily. Triple-clicking the device button releases the tag and returns it to advertising mode. * **Persistent Device Properties** - Configurations for claimed ActiveIO devices persist between Motive sessions, reducing repeated setup work and helping maintain consistent behavior across projects. * **RGB Status LEDs** - ActiveIO devices include three RGB status LEDs that use different colors to communicate device state, including selection, battery level, connection status, and other device information. * **Synchronization when Disconnected** - In the case where an ActiveIO device loses connection to the BaseStation, the LEDs remain synchronized with the camera system for several minutes before becoming unsynchronized from the camera frames. * **General Purpose Input/Output (IO)** - The GPIO pins on the Tag-8 can transmit back the data going into their ports. This enables things such as binary button presses or analog sensors to communicate data back to Motive. That data can be graphed, recorded, exported, and streamed out of the software. * **Prime****x**** 260 Camera Family Support** - Motive 3.5 adds support for [Primex 260](/hardware/cameras/ethernet-cameras/primex-260.md), Primex 260W, and Slimx 260 cameras. With 26 MP sensors, the 260 family is designed for premium tracking systems that require exceptional resolution, accuracy, and large-volume performance. * **Slim****x**** 22 Support** - Adds support for [Slimx 22](/hardware/cameras/ethernet-cameras/slimx-22.md), a compact high-speed camera designed for active tracking workflows. Slimx 22 extends the Slimx family with an active-only option for applications that prioritize speed, scale, and efficient deployment. * **Deadband Filter** - The new rigid body deadband filter detects when rigid body motion falls below a defined threshold and holds the rigid body static. This is especially useful for ICVFX, broadcast, camera tracking, and other workflows where small fluctuations can become visible when projected over long distances. * **New Streaming Types** - To support ActiveIO, we have added the ability to stream… * **Raw IMU data (inertial measurement unit)** - This unlocks workflows where sensor fusion can be done on the client side. * **GPIO data (General Purpose Input/Output)** - This unlocks workflows where button inputs are activated on ActiveIO devices, then sent to game engines or client applications where actions in the game can occur. * **Anchor Markers** - This unlocks the ability to better remotely monitor system health using a NatNet Client. A new example client for how to do this will be included with NatNet 4.5. * Added the ability to turn off streaming data for individual ActiveIO tag devices to optimize the data stream over NatNet. * Added the ability to turn on/off IMU and GPIO data entirely from streaming. * **USD Export** - Export animation files to [OpenUSD](/motive/data-export/data-export-usd.md) for importing into game engines (for example, [Unreal Engine](/plugins/optitrack-unreal-engine-plugin.md)) and other workflows such as the NVIDIA Omniverse. * **STL Attached Geometries** - Users can now attach STL geometry files to rigid bodies for improved visualization in engineering workflows. * **Passive or Active Only Modes** - Added back the ability to have Passive Only and Active Only markers. * **Unlabeled Markers Visibility Toggle** - Added the ability to toggle the visibility of unlabeled markers in the 3D view. * **Delete All Unlabeled Markers** - Added the ability to delete all unlabeled markers using a single button click in the Edit Tools pane. * **Improved Color Decoding** - Rewrote the color video decoder module to use GPU when available. This allows for systems with more color cameras in the mix with as many as 18 [Prime Color](/hardware/cameras/ethernet-cameras/prime-color.md) cameras running at 250 Hz being an upper limit validated in the office. * Added a hotkey option for making the working range match the selection range. * Added the ability to not scroll the Graphs pane with Alt+Left click. * Added a dropdown to the 3D Viewer for follow selected with rotation. * Added an option to create skeletons with straight spines. * Improved active marker tracking with dense or symmetric marker placements. * Added the ability to use pixel inspector while in MJPEG. * Added functionality to the skeleton creation process to auto detect existence of inside elbow/wrist/knee/ankle calibration markers for Core/Baseline skeletons and, if they exist, create the skeleton with them. * Minor improvements to Motive taking a long time to open. * Updated internally to Visual Studio 2022, which can affect some customer samples. * Updated the link for the OptiTrack Forums. * Added a hotkey to enable Local Coordinates. * **Calibration** * **MCAL Human Readable Camera Names** - Added a subfield for the human readable camera name in (.mcal) calibration files. * **OpenCV Calibration Representation** - Added a new intrinsic representation in MCAL files that makes working with OpenCV easier. * **NMotive / Motive Batch Processor** * Made the C3D export settings match Motive for NMotive / the Motive Batch Processor including Calculated Marker Positions. * Made the CSV export settings match Motive for NMotive / the Motive Batch Processor including Axis Convention settings and WriteQualityStats. * Added the ability to access the start time in milliseconds in an NMotive example. * Added the ability to export skeletons with Z-Up for the FBX exporter. #### **Fixes** * **Motive API Body License Fix** - Fix for a bug where the Motive API did not work with Body Licenses. * Fix for external device data being dropped when 3D frame drops occur at higher frame rates such as 500 Hz. * Fix for Continuous Mode for Flex cameras not working correctly and still strobing the IR ring light. * Fix for a bug when doing a Range of Motion with skeletons that contain active finger markers. * Fix for slow file open and recording start in some situations. * Fix for comments in the MotiveAPI around the CurrentCalibrationQuality(…) function. * Fix for the Motive API print statements around CurrentCalibrationQuality(…) not being clear. * Fix for an issue where the VRPN streaming option stays toggled on reset but does not restart the connection. * Fix for incorrect logic for toggling mode in the Devices Pane for the Flex 13, Flex 3, and Slim3U devices. * Fix for not fixed width of the Video column in the Data Pane. * Fix for not intuitive stepper amount for the Bone Translation Offset property. * Fix for the add marker sticks in a line feature not being additive. * Fix for an issue where setting the blue value for the LED status light for a Slim camera to 255 would set the value to 0 instead. * Fix for inconsistent use of the term “Video Mode.” * Fix for a small issue with overlapping text in the Cameras View with camera info enabled. * Fix for a crash when running Motive on Windows Server. * Fix for Motive API “markers” sample application giving the wrong Camera Count and hangs waiting for nonexistent cameras in some circumstances. * Fix for a hang when solving skeleton under certain circumstances. * Fix for an intermittent crash when fetching Unicast data subscription through NatNet. * Fix when using custom constraints for skeleton creation.

During setup, the actor completes a guided Range of Motion routine that moves each tracked bone to compute more accurate joint locations. These joint locations can be reused across multiple sessions by updating the constraint locations (not bone lengths) using the associated tool in Motive. * **Key Pose Detection -** Specific poses are used to help better define certain joints such as elbows, wrists, knees, shoulder, neck, spine, and other bones. This patent pending technique better detects real-world joint locations. * **Fully Automated Workflow** - The range of motion process progresses automatically between steps to make the process simple for a single person to perform. * **Backup Take Recorded -** Unless otherwise specified, a take with the name of the subject is recorded each time a range of motion is performed. This allows you to easily reprocess the skeleton if needed. * **Extra Settings -** Lots of small extra settings have been included to let you customize the experience or debug issues if needed. For instance, you may refine only the constraint locations if bone lengths need to remain fixed. * **ROM Quality Properties -** The skeleton asset stores the last range of motion quality as a property for reference. * **ROM Hotkey -** Added a hotkey for creating a skeleton and starting the range of motion process at the same time. * **Instructions -** There is a small pop-up help window with icons to demonstrate how to use the new range of motion feature as well as an instructional video online. * **ROM 3D Visuals -** Live skeleton updates in 3D show the range of motion progress and quality. * Added a Refinement tab to the Settings Window > Assets tab for all related properties. * Added an option to save the original skeleton when doing range of motion for comparison purposes. * **Builder** * **Improved Marker Placement Guide -** The builder pane has a new green marker visual as well as joint axis lines to help more easily define where markers should be placed. * Renamed the “5 Segment Spine (five spine, two neck bone)” model to just the “7 Spine Segment” model. * Made the 7 spine segment model the default bone structure. * **In-Camera VFX Improvements** * **Max Ray Length -** The Max Ray Length solver setting is back, which can exclude long rays in big spaces to reduce jitter and improve tracking stability. * Max Drift Correction has been updated from an advanced property to a standard setting for easier sensor-fusion optimization. * Added an IMU sensor fusion pause property for rigid bodies. * **NMotive / Motive Batch Processor** * Added an example FBX Binary script that allows you to specify the location of the output file. * Added a line promoting the Motive Batch Processor to the Quick Start Window. * Added exporting FBX and C3D options to the Entertainment Script example. * **Licensing** * **Licensing restricts only Trained Markersets** - Motive:Tracker licenses now support standard (nontrained) markersets. * Improved the License Tool by removing extra spaces in the text inputs. * Updated the OptiTrack logo on the License Tool. * **Continuous Calibration Pane -** Split the Continuous Calibration section out of the Info Pane into its own pane. * Renamed the Active “Group” property to “Pattern.” * Added the ability to display the distance between any selected 3D objects instead of just for markers. * Added a user definable Notes property to hardware devices. * Added a settings to adjust reference video brightness. * Added an option to not stream rigid body data via VRPN when it is not tracked. * Added a new property to turn off sending camera descriptions for NatNet.
