The 3Space Isotrak is an electromagnetic tracker system from Polhemus available in the late 1980s and early 1990s.[1][2]

Isotrak was one of the first trackers developed for use in virtual environments.[3]

It was replaced by the FasTrak as the high cost option and the IsoTrak II as low cost.

The SEU has model number 3SI0002.[4]

In the Isotrak and later trackers, the boresight function allows one to designate any sensor orientation as the zero orientation point.[5]

The maximum update rate is 60 hertz.[5]
