Markerless for Life Sciences

Markerless motion capture takes marker prep out of the session, which can be more practical when the participant is a child, a neurological patient, or an athlete you have fifteen minutes with. Qualisys offers three routes to it, all running on Miqus video cameras and the QTM calibration your lab already knows. Which one fits depends on how you work.

The newest addition to our markerless ecosystem, Prisma Pose, will be available on November 2, 2026.
