AiQ Synertial MoCap Suits

AiQ Synertial G6 MoCap Suits

The AiQ Synertial G6 MoCap Suits are professional, inertial full-body motion capture systems. They utilize IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) sensors deployed on the body to measure the orientation, acceleration, and velocity of individual body segments.

The system does not require a constant camera environment or a dedicated studio environment. It can be used indoors and outdoors, including for animation, biomechanical analysis, research, sports, ergonomics, robotics, training, and simulation.

The G6 family includes:

a suit with 18 IMU sensors for full-body motion capture and an additional sensor for a prop,
a suit with 30 IMU sensors for body and hand motion capture, also with an additional sensor for a prop,
optional gloves with 9, 12, or 16 sensors,
wired and wireless communication,
SynDash software, and integration with external 3D, engineering, and biomechanical environments.

Key Technical Specifications

System Configurations

G6 18 Sensor Suit

18 IMU sensors for full-body motion capture,
1 additional IMU sensor for mounting on a prop, tool, or other object,
no direct, full-finger tracking without the use of additional gloves.

G6 30 Sensor Suit

30 IMU sensors,
full-body and hand motion capture,
1 additional IMU sensor for the prop,
a solution designed for applications requiring more detailed representation of upper limbs and hand motion. IMU Sensor Parameters
Gyroscope range: up to 4000°/s,
Accelerometer range: ±16 g,
Declared recording rate: 200 frames or samples per second,
Dimensions of a single IMU module: approximately 5 × 13 × 18 mm,
Using technology described by the manufacturer as 15-axis and resistant to sensor saturation during fast movements.

A gyroscope range of 4000°/s is particularly important when analyzing very fast movements, such as throws, impacts, sports movements, acrobatic elements, or dynamic training activities. By comparison, many conventional inertial systems use gyroscopes with a range of around 2000°/s, which can reach their measurement limits during very fast maneuvers.

Central Hub
Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or wired connection
Supported platforms as specified by the manufacturer: PC, Android, and iOS
Hub dimensions: approximately 65 x 65 x 20 mm
Optional or integrated GPS module, depending on the configuration
Power supply: 3.3–5 V
Declared ability to save an unlimited number of files – in practice, depending on the memory capacity

Ability to operate with a replaceable power source

Power and Operating Time
Stated battery life: approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes.
Extended battery life can be extended by hot-swapping the battery during use.
A 5V power bank can be used in wireless configurations.

Suit:
Material: approximately 80% nylon and 20% spandex.
Flexible construction that fits snugly against the body.
Cables integrated into the garment.
According to the manufacturer, the cable elasticity can reach approximately 135%.
Pre-made configurations and custom configurations are available.

Data Format and Export

The basic SynDash software allows you to:
record data,
monitor sensor status,
view motion in real time,
play recordings,
save sessions,
export data to formats such as BVH and FBX,
access raw data,
manage the wireframe model.

BVH, or Biovision Hierarchy, is a popular skeletal animation format. FBX is a more comprehensive 3D data exchange format supported by many animation, design, and game development programs.

For biomechanical applications, integration with Visual3D is also available. Data from the G6 system can be transferred to this environment via the MVNX format, among others.

Software Required for Operation

SynDash Lite

The basic application for operating the system, enabling:
connecting to sensors,
monitoring sensor status,
recording sessions,
viewing motion in real time,
playing back recorded sessions,
exporting to BVH and FBX,
using Skeleton Manager,
capturing raw data.

SynDash Pro

The extended version of the software can also include:
modifying and saving skeletal models,
simultaneous data capture from multiple suits,
additional sports analysis functions,
support for more complex hand models,
working with hybrid systems,
multiple viewing windows,
reporting lost frames,
monitoring the status of individual sensors.

SynShow

SynShow is diagnostic software used primarily for configuration, connection testing, and troubleshooting. It is not a primary tool for everyday motion capture.

Integrations and Plugins

The manufacturer lists integrations or plug-ins for, among others:
Unity,
Unreal Engine 4,
Autodesk MotionBuilder,
Siemens Process Simulate Human,
Siemens Jack,
Siemens PLM,
OptiTrack Motive—primarily for gloves or hybrid configurations,
Visual3D,
HTC Vive,
optical motion capture systems.

Before purchasing, please verify current compatibility with the specific version of Unity, Unreal Engine, MotionBuilder, Siemens Jack, or Visual3D. Public manufacturer materials do not always provide supported software versions.
