·Durable, high-quality wearable parts

·Open technology, full access to data streams

 

Untether your mocap sessions

 

Mobile device compatible

Live-stream and record on any Wi-Fi enabled device.

 

Portable and light-weight

Shadow weighs only 1.1kg and easily fits into a small bag or backpack for easy transport.

 

Record mocap anywhere

Capture all day to built-in storage. Drag and drop the data files to a computer for analysis.

Fast, accurate motion data

 

The Shadow system uses the highest quality MEMS inertial components to provide low noise, high resolution output data for smooth and accurate orientation measurements.

 

The precision IMU sensors update at up to 1000 Hz, for low latency orientation response. Stream the calibrated sensor and orientation data at output rates up to 400 Hz.

Cutting edge, precision inertial sensor technology

·High-precision inertial sensors

·4000 °/sec gyros will not saturate

·Responsive 1000 Hz internal update rate

·Low latency for interactive applications
