Xsens Adds Mobile and Full Wi-Fi Support to MVN Studio
Enschede, The Netherlands (PRWEB) May 25, 2016 -- A new update to Xsens popular data analysis MVN Studio software brings unprecedented freedom of movement to motion capture, all by utilizing a common Wi-Fi network and a mobile device. When paired with Xsens MVN or MVN BIOMECH, update 4.3 allows users to transmit data from any location with Wi-Fi, and use a mobile device to control the recording.
“The update adds the flexibility to experiment wherever you want,” said Xsens Product Manager Hein Beute. “Expanding our Wi-Fi and remote options makes motion capture even more accessible for our users. We are looking forward to see how our clients will take advantage of the new features.”
A soft access point now does the heavy lifting, allowing motion capture data to be sent to any computer running MVN Studio on that network. With this flexibility, users can move about freely within range of their signal, inside or out, trusting that the data they produce is being sent to their chosen workstation.
The MVN Studio Update 4.3 also introduces a new app that works with iOS and Android mobile devices. After accessing the MVN Remote app on their device, users can start and stop the recordings being transmitted to their workstation over Wi-Fi. Instant avatar previews cut the time it takes to visualize intended motions, and remove the need to confine a project to a specific area.

The MVN Studio 4.3 update marks the first major release for the software since the 4.2 update in June 2015. A video showing the software in action can be seen here.
