Info Pane

Main page

In Motive, the Info pane can be accessed under the View tab or by clicking Toolbar Info.png icon on the main toolbar. Info pane lists out real-time tracking information for a selected rigid body in Motive. Reported data includes a total number of tracked rigid body markers, mean errors for each of them, and the 6 Degree of Freedom (position and orientation) tracking data of the rigid body.

Real-time rigid body tracking information displayed for the selected rigid body.

Euler Angles

There are many potential combinations of Euler angles so it is important to understand the order in which rotations are applied, the handedness of the coordinate system, and the axis (positive or negative) that each rotation is applied about. The following conventions are used for representing Euler orientation in Motive:

  • Rotation order: XYZ
  • All coordinates are *right-handed*
  • Pitch is degrees about the X axis
  • Yaw is degrees about the Y axis
  • Roll is degrees about the Z axis
  • Position values are in millimeters
