IGS-190-M mobile

The IGS-190-M mobile, is the world's most mature gyroscopic inertial motion capture system, currently on v.9. It's simple to set up, compact to store and convenient to use outside a studio, like all similar inertial systems but that's where similarities end. Patent-pending footstep algorithms focus on providing data with solid footsteps. Mocap data with "mushy" or "glidy" feet is good as garbage: practically unclean-able.

A special difference between IGS-190-M mobile and other similar systems is the ability to synchronize with additional hardware that can track the pelvis and provide global positioning data (6DoF), what inertial systems naturally lack. After adopting an optical system as a partner and failing to find a solution after 2 years, we took what we had learned and developed the ExacTrax Ultrasonic Tracking System, a sonar triangulating rig, that once plugged into a IGS-190-M mobile, upgrades it into an IGS-190-H hybrid. The positional data from the sonar rig is necessary in applications like "live" TV, multi-actor projects, and specially as a guide for post-process cleaning of the data for optical quality data without the "woodiness".

One ExacTrax Ultrasonic Tracker System comes with 20 microphones but can be expanded to 96 for L-shaped, odd-shaped, or even various floors or stairways. It can incorporate up to 4 IGS-190-M mobile systems (8 when there's only non-sporty motions). The IGS-190-H hybrid software however, can be used without the sonar hardware to edit data captured with IGS-190-M mobile and you can get same optical quality results, albeit taking a little longer to do it. All IGS-190-M mobile systems come with a license of the IGS-190-H hybrid software which includes the "Keyframe Editor" designed specifically for our systems to achieve optical quality data or better.
