Xsens motion capture technology utilizes a system of advanced sensors attached to a suit worn by the actor. These sensors capture the actor’s movements in real-time, translating them into precise digital data. This data is then used to animate characters and objects in 3D environments.

What does a motion capture suit do?

A motion capture suit (or mocap suit) captures the movement of a performer’s body and turns their recorded motion into data with the help of software.

Motion capture suits are a type of clothing typically made out of full-body lycra suits, also known as elastane, which is a highly elastic synthetic fiber. Full-body lycra suits make it easier for people to perform unobstructed movements.

The Xsens MVN Link is a skin-tight lycra suit equipped with 17 sensors that are attached to parts of the performer’s body, such as their knee, leg, foot, upper arm, or even head. It comes in 6 sizes to suit different body dimensions and users.

With a range of 150 meters and 10 hours of battery life, the Xsens MVN Link suit makes it possible to capture high-impact, dynamic movement data from multiple subjects — without needing to use a cable or wire to connect the different technologies. This one suit is the hardware needed to capture production-ready data.
