Public Profile

Ascension provides motion-tracking solutions for three-dimensional computer graphics applications by quickly and accurately tracking the motion of humans, peripheral devices and medical instruments. The motion trackers instantaneously track the position and orientation of one or more sensors for real-time analysis, interaction and control of computer processes. Ascension technology chiefly serves six markets: animation, medical imaging, biomechanics, virtual reality, simulation/training and military targeting systems. The uses are exceptionally diverse. Ascension motion trackers can make a cartoon character's movements startlingly lifelike, guide a doctor through delicate surgery or help teach a budding pilot to fly a jet or aim a missile.
