MotionStar is one of the most widely used motion capture hardware systems
in the world. This un-tethered magnetic tracker captures the motions
of up to five performers in real time without losing data. Ideal for
real-time multiple character interaction for broadcast, games or live
entertainment!

| FEATURE | DESCRIPTION | BENEFIT | ADVANTAGE |
| Multi-performer real-time engine | Tracks up to 5 performers, fully rendered in real-time. A unique capability unavailable elsewhere. | Allows director to direct characters rather than the actors. Actors get real-time feedback of their performance , and are able to modify their behavior to suit the character. More realistic interaction of characters. | More realistic production. Less re-takes. More time focused on performance rather than the technology. |
| Environmental Analyzer data quality enhancement tools | New tools available to greatly minimize distortion and noise previously associated with magnetic systems. | Unlike older magnetic systems, these tools greatly increase data quality. | Spend less time cleaning data in post and more time animating. |
| New hardware and software enhancements | New modems and algorithmic enhancements. | Increased data transmission and quality. | Spend less time cleaning data in post and more time animating. |
| 78 data points on each performer | Each performer on average uses 13 magnetic sensors. Each sensor collects, X, Y, Z, Azimuth, Elevation, and Roll data. 6 x 13 = 78 data points. | Excellent coverage of every performer's movements. | Catch every nuance of the performance for most realistic motion capture session. |
| Non-occlusion magnetic technology | Occlusions occur when optical markers get blocked. This results in blank data, or data "gaps" that need to be filled in. | No occlusions. Human body and non-metallic props do not block signals from MotionStar's magnetic sensors. | Spend less time cleaning data in post and more time animating. |
| Solid state electronics | No moving parts, no cameras, no tripods and no maintenance. | Less time and cost associated with maintaining, calibrating and operating systems. | No down time and more mocap time. Project real cost of system over time. |
| Versatile mocap data pipeline component | Works with all major animation programs in most environments. | Portable, flexible, durable and easy to use. | Count on it for producing quick, easy and high-quality mocap data. |
| Low cost | Single performer systems starting at $36K. | Excellent data at lower pricing for today's animator. | Affordable, high quality motion capture data! |
