Motion Capturing with Xsens
_
_
Case and Content
The case contains everything you need to capture full body performances. Additional to that there are two suits.
The Sensors
There should be 18 sensors in the case. These 17 are essential to get the capturing process started at all:
Upper Body
- 1 x Head
- 1 x Stern
- 3 x Left Shoulder
- 1 x Left Hand
- 3 x Right Shoulder
- 1 x Right Hand
Lower Body
- 1 x Pelvis
- 3 x Right Leg
- 3 x Left Leg
There is an additional sensor for a potential Prop.
The Sensors are connected to cable whips that should be contained in the same bag as the sensors.
The Bodypack
The whips are then connected to the bodypack. The bodypack is a small computer that processes the information provided by the sensors.
The Battery
The battery, if properly charged, provides the bodypack with energy.
The Router
The router is connected to a PC with an Ethernet Cable and receives the information from the bodypack. That information is then processed by the Xsens Mvn Software.
The Dongle
The dongle is an authentification device that needs to be plugged into the PC to get the Xsens Mvn Software running.

Dressing up
Using the right dimensions
This is how you put on the lycra suit.
So far we're offering two suits. L (1.60-1.75) and XL (1.75-1.85). You shouldn't put it on if you're larger than that.
Washing the suit
Due to hygienic reasons you must always wash the suit after using it. Remove all cables, Bodypack and Motiontrackers. Follow the instructions on the label inside the suit:
- Only Synthetic machine wash at 30°C!!!
- Do not bleach
- Do not iron
- Do not dry clean
- Do not tumble dry
- For the headband, gloves and straps use only cold hand wash.
Wiring things up
You can follow this instructional video to wire up the suit. Always have a second person to help you set things up.

There is a lot of information about the Software and how to use it on their support page.
