The future of performance
Spotlight on Xsens. Xsens motion capture solutions enable you to record and stream full-body, lifelike motion in real time. Retarget the HQ data directly to your characters so your animations can imitate life as closely as possible. Even technologically advanced performances, such as live projected holograms, can be created on stage with ease.

With the next generation of Xsens mocap, focus on performance, not technology
Reimagine theater
Elevate theatrical performances with Xsens motion capture. Using Xsens Animate, digital characters seamlessly join actors on stage, blending digital and live elements. In The Tempest, the Royal Shakespeare Company brought a virtual water nymph to life using Xsens Link, capturing actor Mark Quartley’s real-time movements with just 20 ms latency, enabling him to interact with cast members and transform live on stage.

Live demonstrations
Bring characters to life on screen in real time using Xsens and any real-time engine. Animated characters add interactive, unique elements to demos and presentations. At SIGGRAPH, Kite & Lightning demonstrated this with a character from their VR battle royale game, Bebylon. Using just three accessible tools – an iPhone mounted on a bike helmet, Unreal Engine, and Xsens Animate – they showcased a live, portable mocap solution.
Animating the stage
Bring HQ characters to life on stage with Xsens motion capture. In a live performance for Turkish brand Arçelik, The Illusionist used Xsens to animate a digital avatar in real time, interacting seamlessly with performers. The lightweight suit ensured quick setup and high-quality motion data, proving Xsens’ power in blending digital and physical worlds.
Seamless integration
Through plugins, it’s easy to integrate our Xsens motion capture solutions with other software and hardware to generate visually stunning performances in real time. The Illusionist, for example, connected Xsens hardware and software with microdrones and AI to create jaw-dropping visuals.

We see the benefit of working with inertial systems, like Xsens, because it's portable and very fast at acquiring data.”
“There are no complicated setups that take hours to achieve, confined stages, or transportation hassle.”

We trained the micro-drones’ tracking system in our studio using the Xsens suit and a local positioning system (HTC Vive),
which we obtained using the spatial and motion analysis, three different coding languages, and a game engine.”
