Xsens Metagloves by Manus
Your Xsens motion capture system just got handier. The Xsens Metaglove by Manus uses high-fidelity finger tracking using sub-millimeter accurate fingertip tracking sensors and can be seamlessly added to your Xsens mocap system.
Add finger tracking directly into Xsens software
Hardware and software go hand in hand. The Xsens Metagloves by Manus are fully integrated into Xsens’ motion capture software, allowing you to deliver real-time finger data into your existing pipeline. The gloves are immune to magnetic interference, similar to Xsens’ motion capture solutions, giving you full flexibility to capture anywhere. Finger tracking can be added to all Xsens motion capture hardware.
Stream combined data to a single source
Stream Xsens Metagloves finger data together with the Xsens body data as a single source into your animation pipeline.
Manus’ Quantum technology creates an accurate hand skeleton by automatically calibrating your hand size. It then sends the finger data to your MVN software, creating an accurate digital copy of your hand that can mimic even the most complex movements and poses.
Hardware
Easily mount your MVN Link or MVN Awinda sensors on top of the Xsens Metagloves by Manus with the provided adapters.
The only glove with absolute, millimeter-precision positional tracking in 3D space. Drift free, even in fast acceleration/deceleration scenarios.
Experience up to 3 hours of uninterrupted motion capture time, with no need to recalibrate after swapping batteries. Change and continue recording with no downtime.
Time-stamped data to make sure your Xsens Metagloves are synchronized with your MVN system.
Easy removal of the sensors from the glove textile to allow for washing and to keep your equipment clean.
Complete 3 hand poses in a few seconds for total hand calibration. It even supports simultaneous multi-user calibration so you and your team can get to work quickly and accurately.
