Meet the Next-Generation Xsens Link

Xsens motion capture uses 17 inertial sensors to record full-body movement. For reliable results in gyms, labs, and on the work floor, the sensors must stay firmly in place. You can choose between two wear options:

• Xsens Awinda (Starter)– 17 wireless sensors mounted with adjustable straps and a breathable shirt. Great when you need to swap quickly between workers, athletes, or patients.

• Xsens Link – 17 tethered sensors integrated into a close-fit eSuit. Ideal when you want the most secure fit for vigorous movement or long recording sessions.

Your best choice depends on your workflow, environment, and the type of movement you capture.

• Awinda (Starter) (straps + shirt)

  • Fast setup and shutdown efficient for multi-subject testing days

  • Flexible sizing: easy to share across teams or classes

  • Suitable for light to moderate activity and quick screenings

  • Can be worn over usual clothing

• Link (full-body eSuit)

  • Tight, consistent sensor contact: great for high-intensity tasks

  • Stable over long sessions and repeated trials

  • Preferred when you need maximal repeatability across sessions

If you’re deciding based on specs alone, both deliver high-quality kinematics; in practice, pick the wear style that best fits your activity level, subject change requirements, and session length.

• OHS screenings on site  for posture/handling assessments during shift changes

• Biomechanics research: everyday movements such as walk, sit-to-stand, stairs, reach

• Rehabilitation research for repeatable sessions with minimal setup
• Partial-body studies: upper-only, lower-only, or region-focused
• Multiple actors sharing one system for fast swap with adjustable straps
• Wear over regular clothing: comfortable over workwear/sportswear

• Humanoid robot motion training and teleoperation 

• High-intensity sports (sprinting, change of direction, martial arts, gymnastics)

• Ergonomics validation for physically demanding tasks or tool trials

• Team or multi-athlete capture where real-time interactions matters

• Sessions with external systems (e.g., positional aiding or stage work)

• Live demonstrations or sideline feedback where a rock-solid connection helps

• Long recording days (marathon testing, rehab progressions over hours)
