Like the original MVN Awinda, it consists of a set of sensors that strap over an actor’s normal clothing, but transmits data to a dongle rather than a base station, and has a lower maximum range. The most recent changes not only reduce the cost of a basic MVN system, but make pricing more transparent: Xsens’ new online product configurator shows the price of every component of the system.Īs well as MVN Link suits and MVN Awinda systems, that includes a new MVN Awinda Starter package. New online configurator lets you mix and match editions of Xsens’ MVN mocap hardare and software ![]() It was also difficult to price up custom systems: like many developers of higher-end motion-capture systems, Xsens’ products were priced on enquiry. However, that still meant spending tens of thousands of dollars: at the last major revision of its product line-up, the cheapest configuration of the firm’s MVN hardware and software cost $12,000. Since its launch, Xsens’ inertial systems have provided VFX firms and game developers with a lower-cost alternative to building a conventional optical motion-capture volume. Professional inertial mocap systems for VFX, game development and previs The new pricing follows shortly after the launch of MotionCloud, Xsens’ new online platform for processing and sharing data generated by MVN systems. Xsens has shaken up the pricing of its inertial motion-capture systems, including the firm’s MVN Awinda hardware and MVN Link suits, and the accompanying MVN Animate software.Įntry-level systems now start at $3,790 for the MVN Awinda Starter kit and MVN Animate Basic software.

Of course, the value of a mocap system – even such an inexpensive one – depends on the quality of its data: something users will get a better idea of when the first units begin shipping next February. Neither manufacturer lists its prices publicly, but given that the cost of higher-end systems is an order of magnitude greater than Perception Neuron, we’d expect Noitom’s solution to be substantially cheaper. $200 gets you a 10-sensor package, described as adequate for hand or upper-body tracking $375 gets you 20 sensors for full-body work and $550 gets you 30 sensors for simultaneous full-body and dual hand tracking.įor comparison, in its 20-sensor configuration, Perception Neuron would be competing with existing entry-level capture systems such as Xsens’ 17-sensor MVN system or Synertial’s 15-sensor IGS-150. How much a Perception Neuron system costs depends on how many sensors you want to use. The size of your capture volume is limited only by the range of Wi-Fi reception.īuy more sensors to refine the data you collect The system is capable of tracking multiple actors simultaneously, although you’ll need a separate hub for each person you track. Noitom is also releasing an SDK for Unity, which should enable developers to write tools to stream motion data directly into the game engine. The hub exports motion data to a Windows PC or Mac in BVH format, for editing in MotionBuilder or Noitom’s own Perception Axis software. The sensors transmit data to a USB-powered hub unit via Wi-Fi. Perception Neuron enables users to assemble their own capture systems from up to 30 inertial sensors, which may either be attached directly to an actor’s body, or to a more conventional mocap bodysuit or glove.Įach sensor is just 12mm square and 6mm deep, making the system lightweight and portable.Įxports data in BVH format, tracks multiple actors Noitom is currently running a Kickstarter campaign for Perception Neuron, and looks likely to hit its $250,000 funding target: it’s currently reached over $230,000 with two weeks still to go.īuild your own mocap system from a set of lightweight sensors Posted by Jim Thacker Build a full-body inertial mocap suit for under $400Ĭhinese motion-capture firm Noitom has announced Perception Neuron: an assemble-it-yourself inertial mocap system that aims to give users a complete full-body capture solution for under $400. ![]()
