Dressing up
Using the right dimensions
Xsens has a basic video of someone putting on the lycra suit. You might notice there are a pair of additional shorts. The only functionality those have is to hide a body part that might be sticking out too much.
So far we're offering two suits. One is ment for rather smaller (L) folks (1.60-1.75) while the other is ment for people who're somewhat larger (XL) (1.75-1.85).
Washing the suit
You might unpack the suit and the bastards who used it before you might have squashed it all wet and stinky into the bag. The good news is that you're allowed to wash it. The bad news is that you have to be very VERY considerate when doing so. Even though the suit might be smelling like a pair of used underpants. It's not at all allowed to be treated like that.
To wash the suit and shorts 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, remove the Motiontrackers and use ONLY cold hand wash.
Please. If you used the suit to capture some intense athletic performances and bodyjuice has spread all over it. Don't even think of putting it back into the bag without washing it before. Be clean!
Wiring things up
You can follow this instructional video by Xsens to wire up the suit.
The more accurate you follow those instructions the less trouble you'll have afterwards when calibrating. In essence you should have everything tightly wired inside of the suit. No swinging cables around your neck or on your feet. Please don't try to do this on your own, since things can get broken or go wrong very easily. Always have a second person to help you set things up.
Xsens Mvn FullBody Software
Before using this suit there are a couple of things to take into consideration. Not all the information on their support page is up to date and changes happen constantly to the interface of the software provided with the suit.
Installing the Software
Download the Xsens Full Body Motion Suit Software:
Running the Software
As you start the software it will ask you to insert the dongle.
If you open the Xsens Full Body Motion Suit Box, you'll find the dongle right next to the bodypack.
