What is new in the Next-Generation Xsens Link

The trusted standard for motion capture, re-engineered for every way humans move.

For over a decade, Xsens Link has powered motion capture across industries including humanoid robotics, film, biomechanics, game development, and sports performance. 

Trusted by leading labs, studios, and robotics teams worldwide, it has long set the benchmark for precision, reliability, and ease of use.

Now, the Next-Generation Xsens Link redefines what a motion capture system can be. It combines advanced hardware architecture, next-level connectivity, and a refined eSuit to deliver cleaner data, greater comfort, and faster workflows. It enables creators, scientists, and engineers to focus on what matters most: human motion. 

Precision: Unrivaled accuracy for every performance 

Clean, reliable motion data is the foundation for everything, whether you are analyzing gait, training a humanoid robot, or animating a cinematic sequence. 

The new Xsens Link introduces a leap in signal quality and consistency, ensuring you can trust every frame, every sample, and every move. 

Key innovations 

• Direct USB-C OTG Ethernet link for ultra-stable, low-latency streaming. Ideal for real-time robotics teleoperation, virtual production, and live performance capture.
• Robust Wi-Fi 6E connectivity for cleaner signals and fewer artifacts, even in demanding environments. 
• Clearly marked sensor slots and silicon rips in sleeves ensure consistent and secure sensor placement across sessions and users. 

What it means for you

Capture cleaner and more stable kinematics with fewer artifacts, whether in the lab, on set, or in the field. 

Comfort: The second-skin eSuit designed for real movement 

The new Xsens eSuit is built to follow the body’s natural dynamics, so athletes, actors, and research participants can move freely. 

Key innovations 

• Lightweight 4D-stretch textiles and breathable mesh panels on the armpits and back keep users cool and comfortable during long sessions. 
• Ergonomic, body-aligned fit makes for unrestricted motion across disciplines. 
• Flexible Hub mounting and self-cooling aluminum coating allow for performing movements with back-to-the-ground contacts and better comfort. 
• Refined shorts with pockets and zippers add practicality for fieldwork, lab tests, and on-set action. 

What it means for you 

Enjoy a natural and distraction-free capture experience that preserves authentic human motion. Breathable, adaptive materials support comfort and confidence in every environment, from research protocols to athletic training and performance capture, helping you collect data that is as real as the movement itself. 

Productivity: Easier workflows to maximize the output of motion capture 

Every second counts in research, robotics, or production. The new Xsens Link is built for speed, reliability, and simplicity, keeping your workflow smooth from setup to output. 

Key innovations 

• Integrated washable cabling eliminates the need to re-cable the suit after every session. The suit comes in a wash bag that can be used in a standard washing machine. 
• One-click sensor placement in defined slots is easy and quick. 
• Hot-swappable batteries on top of the 4-hour internal battery allow continuous recording with no session restarts. 
• Future-ready Hub with USB-C OTG, intuitive LED and speaker feedback, and expansion options for evolving workflows. 

What it means for you 

Spend less time setting up and more time creating, testing, or analyzing. 

Whether you are capturing performance for animation, collecting field data, or running long robotics trials, Xsens Link keeps sessions flowing with fewer interruptions, quicker changeovers, and higher data throughput. 

Built for the future 

The Next-Generation Xsens Link is more than an update. It is a complete re-engineering of motion capture for today’s multi-disciplinary innovators. 

With unrivaled precision, a second-skin eSuit, and streamlined productivity, it is built to accelerate breakthroughs in science, sports, robotics, and storytelling alike.
