No other motion capture system comes close to the Impulse X2E capture rate of 960 frames per second at up to 13MP resolution. This means you don't have to choose between speed and resolution. You can get the best of both worlds. Whether it's virtual reality entertainment or biomechanical engineering, the most demanding customers rely on PhaseSpace for superior speed and precision.

The Impulse X2E system captures at a stunning 36,000 x 36,000 sub-pixel resolution in HDR. (1,300 MP) That's about 100x the resolution of most motion capture cameras. What's our secret? Like other mocap systems, it uses a custom linear detector instead of an RGB camera. This equates to the highest tracking accuracy at full speed. (down to 20µ at 960Hz)

Benefits of the Impulse X2E System

  • Real-time tracking of multiple subjects and objects

  • Patented active marker technology eliminates marker swapping for cleaner data

  • Robust and accurate motion data with sub-millimeter resolution

  • Efficient operation allows one person to set up and run the system

  • Portable system supporting indoor and outdoor motion capture

  • Accurately track the fastest motion with 960Hz capture rate

  • Stream motion data directly to third-party software such as MotionBuilder, JACK, Visual3D, and more.

Flexible, scalable and powerful

  • Capture more up to 8 human subjects (body and fingers) with multiple systems

  • Ultra-fast motion tracking at up to 960 frames per second

  • Capture spaces can range from 8'x8' to 50'x50', and much larger if you have overlapping camera setups or multiple systems.
