Xsens GDC booth (#631) to Feature Full-Body Immersive VR Experience with The Virtual Dutch Men and Presentations with Autodesk, Faceware, and Manus VR
Enschede, The Netherlands – March 8, 2016 – During Game Developers Conference 2016, Xsens is teaming up with IKinema and Epic Games to showcase a new technology alliance that integrates Xsens’ motion capture technology (Xsens MVN) into Unreal Engine 4 using IKinema’s LiveAction. The integration will be part of Epic’s keynote address on Wednesday, March 16 at Moscone West, Room 3001 - 3003.
“Today’s announcement of the live integration of Xsens MVN with Unreal Engine 4 is another step to enable our users to focus on the creative process rather than the technical integration,” says Xsens Product Manager Hein Beute. “The new technology alliance will enable many new real-time applications that require realistic human-like character animations and beautiful graphics.”
At the Xsens booth (#631), The Virtual Dutch Men will demonstrate a full-body immersive virtual reality experience using the Oculus Rift, Unity game engine, Manus VR gloves, and Xsens’ motion capture suit. In addition, throughout the week Xsens and its technology partners will be demonstrating motion capture use cases for a variety of game development scenarios.
Highlighted booth presentations include:
- Game Engine – A live motion capture demonstration of the Unreal Engine
pipeline using IKinema’s LiveAction will take place daily.
- Virtual Reality – Full-body immersive VR experience featuring Xsens MVN,
The Virtual Dutch Men, Unity Game Engine, and the Oculus Rift.
- Facial Capture – Live performances from Faceware show how patented facial
