MINDFLUX - Ascension MotionStar

Full Body Motion Capture for starting at $25,000! Affordable, tethered tracker for capturing human motions. MotionStar is the most cost-effective means of tracking full-body motions in the world today. Developed with animators world-wide, MotionStar is a "turn-key" motion-capture solution when purchased with appropriate animation software and workstation. It comes in a fully-integrated enclosure with a fast Ethernet interface to your computer.

The rack-mounted chassis houses all electronics and a high speed interface to your host computer. Each sensor is connected to the chassis by a 35-foot cable and can be bundled together for unhindered performance.

Applications:

3D Character Animation for TV, Movies, & Games
Live Performance Animation
CAD Simulation of Human Motions
Virtual Prototyping
Sports & Medical Analysis
Biomechanical Analysis
Human Performance Assessment
Interactive Game Playing
Rehabilitative Assessment/Feedback

Tracks multiple characters simultaneously	Allows multiple characters to interact with one another.
DC magnetic technology	No data loss. Less susceptible to metallic distortion than AC electromagnetic trackers. Five times less susceptible to distortion caused by nearby metal than AC technology.
Real-time motion capture	Optimize productivity in motion capture sessions. Choreograph movements instantly. Instantaneous playback of motions.
Highly portable	Fast set-up, easy to use.
Cost-effective	Quick return on your investment.
Works with all major animation software	Easily integrates into your current animation program.
