Is the new short-range transmitter light enough to mount on a person?
A. As long as the transmitter is mounted on a bracket (and therefore not in direct contact with a person), it can be used for body tracking. The “air core ” version weighs just 230 grams. As stated above, it is specifically designed for close range applications. For some medical applications, it can be mounted on a swing arm or insulated band attached to the patient for tracking miniaturized sensors within the body. In at least one new application, this new transmitter is attached to a headband for tracking sensors and instruments on and near the face. Sensor measurements can be referenced relatively to one another or absolutely from their geometric center to the center of the transmitter.
