Aurora Features and Benefits

The following are some of the benefits that you will experience with the use of NDI's Aurora^® System.

Measurement Freedom

• Electromagnetic measurement technology eliminates the worry of line-of-sight required by optical tracking systems.
• Designed to operate in an environment containing medical-grade metals.

Tool Flexibility

• With the smallest 5DOF sensor coil on the market, tools that incorporate these sensor coils are ideal for in vivo applications.
• 6DOF measurements can be achieved with a single miniturized sensor, allowing for innovative tool designs.
• Available digital I/O lines allow for unique tool customization.

Easy Integration

• The Aurora Application Program Interface (API) allows for easy application-specific software development.
• Based on NDI's Polaris line of optical measurement systems, the Aurora API provides quick integration of existing software applications developed for the most popular optical system on the market today.
• Designed for medical applications, the Aurora System has all the necessary electrical safety approvals and classifications to enable OEM partners the quickest path to product realization.

User-Friendly & Reliability

• Pre-calibrated, the system can be quickly set-up for immediate use.
• Automated tool detection ensures uninterrupted system dependability during use.
