Optical Motion Capture
PhaseSpace Motion Capture Gloves

PhaseSpace is proud to introduce our finger-tracking
solution, the IMPULSE glove. Using existing IMPULSE technology,
real-time finger tracking is now possible. When used in conjunction
with the IMPULSE suit, we can provide real-time full-body
motion capture. The IMPULSE glove plug-in for Motionbuilder allows
for real-time streaming of glove data directly into MotionBuilder.
THE GLOVES
These durable gloves come with eight LEDs total: one the tips of the fingers (two LEDs on the thumb), and two LEDs on the back of the hand. As with all PhaseSpace LEDs, the glove is also available with infrared LEDs. The glove is connected to the multi-LED board.
MULTI-LED BOARD
This
multi-LED board, capable of driving up to 8 LEDs, is easily attached to
the glove for a minimal footprint. Once the glove is connected to the
board, the board is connected directly into the IMPULSE suit to allow
for full-body capturing.
MOTIONBUILDER GLOVE PLUG-IN
Just click and import into
MotionBuilder. Once imported, having real-time visualization
is as easy as dropping markers into their respective slots
and then activating the actor.
