\nScan Rate \u2013 Up to 120 Hz \/ 120 FPS
\nPose accuracy \u2013 < 20 mm error per station (improves with multi-unit setups)
\nOutput data \u2013 23-joint 6DoF motion data
\nML latency \u2013 < 10 ms (on-device model only)
\nSupports single or multiple Stations with ToF interference cancellation and up to 120 Hz capture across 50 m\u00b2<\/p>\n
USB \u2013 1x USB Type-C port for power and data
\nMisc<\/p>\n
1\/4\u2033 camera threads on back and bottom for mounting
\nRear power button<\/p>\n
Power \u2013 12V DC, 2A via a rear charging port

\nWeight \u2013 280g
\nMounting \u2013 2 x 1\/4\u2033-20 UNC threaded mounting holes (1 rear, 1 bottom)
\nCertification \u2013 IEC 60825-1 Class 1 Eye-Safe (underway)<\/p>\n
\n On the software side, the cross-platform Soulart App manages the Stations and routes motion-tracking data to supported applications across Windows, Meta Quest, and Android XR, with a SteamVR driver for SteamVR. It supports features like Live Preview and Automatic Avatar Retargeting, as well as VMC, OSC, and BVH streaming, along with BVH\/FBX export and integrations with VTube Studio, Warudo, VBridger, Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender, Maya, MotionBuilder, and ROS2.<\/p>\n The system also features a \u201cHub Mode,\u201d where one Station can combine data from other Stations and handle additional ML processing locally, reducing the need for PC-side processing. Soulart plans to open-source the app and plugins in early 2027, but the Station firmware will remain closed source. The team also plans to roll out free OTA updates to add facial tracking in H1 2027 and hand tracking in H2 2027.<\/p>\n \n Previously, we covered full-body tracking systems like the open-source SlimeVR Butterfly Trackers,<\/a> which use wearable IMU sensors but can experience drift and require sensors to be attached to the body. In contrast, the Soulart Station uses ToF-based markerless tracking with interference cancellation for multi-Station setups and an onboard NPU for motion processing.<\/p>\n \n Soulart Station is currently on Kickstarter<\/a>, where it has raised over $450,000 so far, surpassing its $300,000 goal. Pledges start at $419 for a single Station, while the two-Station and eight-Station packages cost $799 and $2,850, respectively. Shipping is extra and is estimated at around $50 for the US. The first units are expected to ship in June 2027.<\/p>\n \ufeff <\/p>\n \ufeff<\/p>\n Debashis Das is a technical content writer and embedded engineer with over five years of experience in the industry.
