Leyard company Planar Systems has finalised a merger agreement with NaturalPoint, an optical tracking and motion capture developer.
Planar hopes the acquisition -
that was first announced on November
8, 2016 – will help it
target the augmented and virtual reality
markets as well as CAVEs, drone
tracking, movement sciences, sports performance, computer
visualisation and animation.
NaturalPoint, which
makes OptiTrack, TrackIR and SmartNav branded
products, will remain a separate business.
