FluxPose offers a magnetic-field‑based 6‑degree‑of‑freedom tracking system that delivers absolute pose data without line‑of‑sight or calibration. Lightweight wireless trackers (15 g) provide sub‑millimeter accuracy and up to 24 hours of operation, while a magnetic dock supports up to ten units and fast charging. An open SDK and unlocked bootloader enable custom firmware and integration with VR, motion‑capture and robotics platforms.

Problem
Current VR motion‑tracking solutions rely on bulky optical beacons or infrared base stations that require clear line‑of‑sight, frequent calibration, and limited battery life, making full‑body tracking impractical for portable or space‑constrained setups. These constraints increase hardware cost and reduce usability for developers and end‑users who need reliable 6‑degree‑of‑freedom (6DoF) tracking in diverse environments.
Solution
FluxPose delivers a magnetic‑field‑based 6DoF tracking system that provides absolute position and orientation without line‑of‑sight or calibration. A hip‑mounted beacon generates an alternating magnetic field, while lightweight trackers (15 g each) detect polarity changes at ~20 kHz to compute their pose relative to the beacon. The system is fully wireless, supports up to ten trackers per dock, and offers up to 24 hours of battery life per tracker. Fast‑charging docks replenish eight trackers and the beacon in under 1.5 hours. An open SDK and unlocked bootloader let developers integrate custom firmware, expand I/O, and build bespoke controllers or robots. All components are modular, magnetically docked, and designed for easy repair and battery replacement, enabling scalable full‑body or object tracking for VR, motion capture, and simulation use cases.
Target Audience
Primary customers are VR developers, motion‑capture studios, and enthusiast users who require portable, low‑drift full‑body tracking for games, training simulators, and interactive experiences. The system also serves hardware integrators building custom controllers or robotic interfaces.
