Animazoo launches $20,000 Gyro Mocap System

Animazoo UK Ltd is pleased to announce the addition of two new professional inertial motion capture systems to it’s IGS range. The IGS-180 and the IGS-150 are available alongside Animazoo’s high end IGS-190-M full body motion capture system and IGS-Mini range of partial body capture systems. Fitted with redesigned, smaller and lighter gyroscopes both systems are ideal for any motion capture environment.

Retailing at $20,000 USD the IGS-150 is Animazoo’s entry level gyroscopic motion capture system, ideal for Education Institutes, Independent Developers and Animators. Featuring 15 standard inertial gyroscopes, the IGS-150 provides accurate, nuance rich motion capture at an affordable price.

Retailing at $45,000 USD the IGS-180 is Animazoo’s latest production ready inertial motion capture system ideal for Higher Education Institutes, Movement Sciences and Professional Developers. The system is fitted with 18 advanced, lightweight, daisy-chained gyroscopes providing the cleanest data from any inertial system in the market today.

“These two new additions to our product range make us the most versatile manufacturers of inertial motion capture systems in the world. With full body systems starting from $8,000 (Animazoo Gypsy 7) we really now have a product for everyone no matter how big or small the client, or how adventurous the motion capture. We are beating our main competitor Xsens (manufacturers of MVN) in both functionality and price. If you’re looking to buy a motion capture system, you would be wise to ask for a quote from Animazoo.” Ali Kord, Director of Technology, Animazoo

Both systems are shipped with Animazoo’s Version 10 Operating Software which gives the ability to capture in 15/30/60/120 frames per second. As well as the standard real-time data viewer and recorder the software suite includes a revolutionary keyframe editor which allows for greater data manipulation and post-processing. Calibration for both systems is automatic on boot up ensuring quick and easy operation. Like all inertial systems, the IGS-150 and IGS-180 do not suffer from occlusion or marker swapping.

Additional software available from Animazoo are real-time drivers for MotionBuilder 2011 as well as the new real-time drivers for UDK, Unity and Panda 3D game engines.
