Motion capture suits

Xsens motion capture is based on inertial technology, we have 17 sensors attached to the body in order to capture your movements. The sensors need to stay in place for the best possible motion capture data quality. Xsens offers two different mocap suits, a full-body lycra suit and a straps based setup. 

The Xsens Awinda attaches 17 wireless sensors using straps and a t-shirt, and the Xsens Link embeds 17 clickable sensors inside the eSuit. Both sensor setups have a wireless connection to the access point.

The Xsens Awinda works with adjustable straps that allow for fast, easy, and reliable motion capture, it’s also easy to change between actors or subjects. The Xsens Link is an eSuit with breathable 4D stretch fabrics to make sure the sensors are fitted tightly on the body, ensuring even more accurate data recording.

Choosing between Xsens Link and Xsens Awinda (Starter) depends on your goal with motion capture. Your choice can be based on the technical specifications, on the application, and on the additional features you need. For the technical specifications per mocap suit, please see this overview:
