Xsens Technologies BV, based in Enschede, The Netherlands, is a privately held company that develops 3D motion measurement products that are built on micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) inertial sensor technologies. The firm is known for its Moven inertial motion capture bodysuit, MTx 3D data capture unit, MT9 inertial measurement unit, and Xbus Master wireless data capture system. The MT9 includes vision-based and inertial tracking features. It supports augmented reality installations. A head-mounted camera captures data, presenting virtual imagery on a head-mounted display. Xbus Master captures multiple orientation signals. The products capture body movements in real time. The MTi and MTi-G miniature attitude heading reference system (AHRS) machine motion products support control, stabilization, and navigation processes. The MTi-G includes integrated Global Positioning System (GPS) and barometer components. Xsens Technologies' MT software development kit (SDK) supports sensor data logging. The SDK includes source and sample code. Xsens Technologies' miniature accelerometer and gyroscope MEMS products can be used to control unmanned vehicles and humanoid robots. Captured human motion data can be used to create character animations, develop training simulations, and support biomechanics and medical research. The firm's products have been employed in characterizing walking patterns, developing biofeedback-based motion assistance systems, and detecting lameness in horses. Xsens Technologies systems are used by organizations across the automotive, aerospace, robotics, marine, and health care sectors.
