North Carolina-based AikenLabs was demonstrating its motion capture accessory system in the CES Gaming Pavilion.
Sensors containing accelerometers and gyros are attached using velcro straps and wirelessly transmit to a server base station.
The base station receives signals from eight sensors, and each sensor can have two satellite sensors attached to it, making it possible to capture motion from 24 points on the body.
Unlike with the Kinect, motion capture is not restricted by position, line-of-sight to base station or lighting. Other technology would be needed to capture finger motions and facial gestures.
The Immersive Motion Desktop Professional Starter Kit with the server and two sensors is available for pre-order at $499. Additional sensors cost $129.
Applications include monitoring and providing feedback on body motion for physical therapy, sports instruction and robot controls.
