The Gypsy motion capture system provides a better technology for majorities of motion capture situations.

Cost
Gypsy is less than half the price of basic magnetic systems. Gypsy is 1/6 the price of most real-time optical systems, and is 1/3 the price of Motion Captor

Affordability
Gypsy quickly pays for itself, even on the first job. Smaller companies gain a huge competitive advantage once they begin working with the Gypsy.

Range
Gypsy's range is 28 times as large as standard magnetic configurations and 7 times larger than standard optical configurations. Gypsy's wireless option expands its range by a factor of 75%

Operating Environment
Unlike magnetic systems which have big problems with metal in the environment, and optical systems that need a lot of dedicated controlled space, the Gypsy can be used just about anywhere. It is highly transportable as well.

Ease of Use
The Gypsy is tremendously easy to set up and use, and does not require highly skilled operators, unlike magnetic or optical system.

Real-time
The Gypsy is always real-time, unlike many optical systems, and has less latency than magnetic systems.

Azimuth
Unlike magnetic systems, the Gypsy has no problems when the actor's azimuth approaches zero (horizontal)

Inner skeletal data
The Gypsy calculates the movements of the actor's inner skeleton, not just the movement of markers used to measure the motion.
