The world’s easiest, most lifelike motion capture system. Learning curve is 5 minutes. Delivers smooth, clean motion data with little or no calibration and requires minimal data cleaning in post production. The resulting data efficiency dwarfs other motion capture systems.
Eighteen tiny inertial sensors or gyros attach to a flexible lycra suit and allow superior precision and stability of motion data. Coupled with our advanced Gypsy software which has been perfected over 8 years of development, the new GypsyGyro-18 allows more applications than ever before.
Reasons why the GypsyGyro-18 is the most advanced and innovative system in the world:
Minimal data cleaning — Straight from capture to content creation or live performance. Save thousands of hours of data cleanup each year.
Life-like motion data — Unbelievable character nuance. What you capture is what you keep. Wave goodbye to data stiffening in post-production.
Occlusion Free — No occlusions or marker swapping and none of the data tagging issues associated with optical or magnetic systems.
No training — Simple user guide will have you capturing super-accurate motion within 5 minutes.
No calibration — From briefcase to capture in minutes.
Portable — Complete system fits inside a small briefcase and weighs less than 2 kg (4.4 lbs). The GypsyGyro-18 is the most portable system ever developed.
Multi-actor system — No occlusions so no data loss, resulting in massively reduced data cleaning.
Lightweight & Flexible — No physical constraint of actor’s movements. Wear sensors under normal clothes. Position sensors and transmitter anywhere on the body for rolling around, hugging etc... All without occlusions.
Enormous Capture Area — Capture motion data wherever you need to – indoors or out. Larger capture area than any other system available.
Props — Optional 19th sensor integrated for props.
Native BVH support — Small and easy to use. Save time and effort in data transfer. Supported by all major 3d animation packages.
True real-time motion data — In keeping with all products in the Gypsy range, the GypsyGyro-18 has no detectable lag.
Improved software — Even greater global accuracy through precise footstep calculations.
Excellent SDK — Comprehensive software developer’s kit with 12 months support available. Drivers available for all Alias products.
Affordable — Saves time and money at all stages of the production pipeline.
New automatic actor-calibration — simply 'drag and drop' points over an actor's digital photograph for faster and more accurate actor files.
