Netherlands-based Xsens announced that it has redesigned its motion capture systems and software. Changes include:
MVN Link: Xsens’ full-body, camera-less mocap suit has been rebuilt to
handle more strenuous conditions. Kevlar-reinforced wires, ultra-small
and lightweight trackers, fast on-body data buffering, and a battery
life of 9.5 hours round out a robust design that is ready for any
on-set production.
MVN Awinda: Xsens’ strap-based system is ideal for animators who want
to capture motions on the fly. Individual wireless motion trackers are
attached to straps that can be quickly snapped on over clothes or
easily exchanged among actors to recording for up to 6.5 hours.
MVN Studio 4.0: Thanks to a massive update to Xsens’ mocap
engine, the software now tracks height in real-time and delivers
exceptionally clean data.
The MVN Studio pipeline integration has also been greatly expanded,
adding support for various 3D applications. Xsens MVN is being offered
at a starting price of $12,000. More on Xsens’
