====== MoTrak - Loeffler Simulator Motion Tracking ======

[[:tools:loef_simulator]] uses Psychology Software Tools (makers of eprime) [[https://pstnet.com/products/motrak/|motrak]] setup. It's old ((old software: as evidence by the name MoTrak not MoTrack)) and originally from the now defunct MRRC simulator.

The software manual is [[https://pstnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/MoTrak-Operator-Manual.pdf|here]].
