  • Consumers: Any platform that can receive UDP datagrams

Supported Hardware

Linux compatible x86 hardware is the main requirement. Our deployment experience suggests that modern Ubuntu-compatible machines with i7 CPUs and at least 8 GB RAM is a good setup for each node. Running on hardware from before 2011 is not recommended. OpenPTrack will not compile on a machine with less than 2.7GB RAM.

Faster CPU(s) can mean better tracking performance, and also may enable running more than one detection process (i.e., more than one sensor) per node. Do not run any node close to 100% CPU utilization, or you are likely to see tracking performance suffer.

Kinect v2 support requires a CUDA-capable GPU.

The Deployment Guide has additional hardware recommendations in the Tested Hardware section.
