MVN MotionGrid


MVN MotionGrid is an UWB based tracking technology complementary to Xsens’ inertial based motion tracking Xsens MVN system. MotionGrid is essentially adding the equivalent of a local GPS system to Xsens’ MVN full body motion capture system. Large capture volumes of 20x20m (60x60ft) can be easily realized using the default 9-reader MotionGrid configuration. MVN MotionGrid is based on UWB RF technology and therefore does not require line of sight or special lighting conditions.

“Speed of turnaround is crucial to us: MVN MotionGrid makes our pipeline faster and more cost efficient”.
Mike Romey, Pipeline Supervisor at Zoic Studios
