MobiusWT 3D Deflection Measurement Optical System
What is the product?
MobiusWT is a 3D deflection measurement optical system designed specifically for non-contact measurements in wind tunnel environments.
Developed for use in wind tunnel testing, ensuring high compatibility with industry needs, the product is as an out-of-the-box solution, making it ready for immediate use without the complexity typically associated with optical systems.
What is it used for?
MobiusWT is used for 3D measurement and deflection tracking in wind tunnel settings. It allows users to turn a single point into a high-precision sensor, enabling flexible and fast test configurations.
Working collaboratively with our partners, we have developed additional capabilities such as rigid body motion correction, and Unified Coordinate Systems, that enhance the testing experience. Full field strain and displacement maps further add to the data capturing capabilities.
Why is it of benefit to industry?
MobiusWT offers value in usability compared to traditional optical measurement systems, which are often complex, time-consuming to set up, and require specialist knowledge.
As a fully pre-calibrated, out-of-the-box solution, MobiusWT significantly reduces setup time and minimises the need for technical support. Its intuitive operation streamlines testing workflows, enabling faster data collection and greater productivity which is particularly valuable in high-demand environments like motorsport, aerospace and research.
What has it been proven to achieve?
MobiusWT has a strong track record of performance in both commercial and academic settings.
It is used daily in F1 and aerospace wind tunnels to capture high-resolution, actionable data, supporting critical development work. In one major aerospace facility, MobiusWT has significantly increased the volume of data captured per test, enabling operators to enhance test throughput and offer a more data-rich, higher-value service.
Its accuracy and flexibility have also been validated through academic research, including collaborative projects with Bristol University.
