# ARTTracker Plugin

> **Warning:** The functionality described in this article is not available in the Community SDK edition.
> You should upgrade to [**Sim**](https://l.unigine.com/SdhugY462) SDK edition to use it.


The **ARTTracker** plugin provides integration with ARTTRACK systems (optical motion capture hardware) from ART.


*ARTTracker* guarantees a high reliability especially in big tracking volumes. It is the best solution for interaction with the *ART Fingertracking* and *Motion Capture* applications.


The plugin can receive the following types of data:


- Single marker data
- Standard body data
- Inertial body data
- *A.R.T.* flystick data
- Measurement tool data
- *A.R.T.* fingertracking hand data
- *A.R.T.* human joint model data


When the plugin is loaded, the *engine.dtrack* class with a bunch of functions is added to UnigineScript.


> **Notice:** For more details see the *ARTTracker* [plugin sample](#using) and visit the [official website](https://ar-tracking.com).
