The MTx is a small and accurate 3DOF Orientation Tracker. It provides drift-free 3D orientation as well as kinematic data: 3D acceleration, 3D rate of turn (rate gyro) and 3D earth-magnetic field. The MTx is an excellent measurement unit for orientation measurement of human body segments.

Features:

Accurate full 360 degrees 3D orientation output
Highly dynamic response combined with long-term stability (no drift)
3D acceleration, 3D rate of turn and 3D earth-magnetic field data
All solid state miniature MEMS inertial sensors inside
Compact design
High update rate
Accepts or generates synchronization pulses
Individually calibrated for temperature, 3D misalignment and sensor cross-sensitivity

Fields of use:

Biomechanics
Exercise and Sports
Virtual Reality
Animation

The MTx uses 3 rate gyros to track rapidly changing orientations in 3D and it measures the directions of gravity and magnetic north to provide a stable reference. The systems real-time algorithm fuses the sensor information to calculate accurate 3D orientation, with a highly dynamic response and stable over time.

With the MTx Development Kit, the MTx can easily be integrated in any system or (OEM) application. The MTx Development Kit contains the following:

MTx 3DOF Orientation Tracker
5m RS232-USB cable
MT Software (PC Windows)
Example source code (C/C++, MATLAB, LabVIEW, VisualBasic)
MotionTracker object (COM object (Windows) and shared object (Linux))
Documentation

Also available in the Xbus Version, of which multiple units can be daisy-chained to the portable Xbus Master. Use multiple MTx's with the Xbus Kit, which contains an Xbus Master with Bluetooth wireless link, 5 MTx's, software and accessories.

The Xbus Master enables ambulatory measurement of human motion. The MTx’s provide drift-free 3D orientation as well as kinematic data: 3D acceleration, 3D rate of turn (rate gyro) and 3D earth-magnetic field. The MTx Xbus Kit contains the following:
