Can I Customize OptiWand Kit?

Post by gamp »

Now there are three kinds of OptiWand Kit: 250mm, 400mm and 500mm. If I make a new Kit myself, say, one kit of 100mm, can I still use it with the current software?
I guess that if I calibrate with a kit of 100mm, while I select the 500mm Kit in software. The measurement of OptiTrack will be five times of real value. That is, if the real distance is 210mm, the measured value will be 1050mm. Is it right?

Current software allows for a custom wand size, which would allow you to specify the distance between the two outside markers (this is measured from the center of the markers) as well as the shorter of the two offset distances.

The volume will scale appropriately based on the input values. If you used the wrong software selection, the scaling would very much be off.
