Optical motion tracking differs from motion capture because in applications such as sports and missiles the object of interest is tracked optically instead of a person. The technology is basically the same, with some differences in that many of the optical motion tracking applications occur outdoors, requiring differing lens and camera configurations.

Famous quotes containing the words optical, motion and/or tracking:
“There is an optical illusion about every person we meet.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is the fixed that horrifies us, the fixed that assails us with the tremendous force of mindlessness. The fixed is a Mason jar, and we can’t beat it open. ...The fixed is a world without fire--dead flint, dead tinder, and nowhere a spark. It is motion without direction, force without power, the aimless procession of caterpillars round the rim of a vase, and I hate it because at any moment I myself might step to that charmed and glistening thread.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
“Such is the art of writing as Dreiser understands it and practices it—an endless piling up of minutiae, an almost ferocious tracking down of ions, electrons and molecules, an unshakable determination to tell it all. One is amazed by the mole-like diligence of the man, and no less by his exasperating disregard for the ease of his readers.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
