01 — Motion & Sensing Systems

From wearable capture to multimodal data.

Developed in collaboration with Xenoma — from today's wearable motion capture to synchronized multimodal sensing for Physical AI.

Wearable Motion Capture

e-Skin MEVA

MEVA combines Xenoma's wearable sensing technology with sci-track's motion tracking software to capture human movement.

Multimodal Data Collection

Physical AI

We are extending our technology toward synchronized motion, camera, audio, pressure and other sensor data for Physical AI applications.

This includes data collection platforms, customer-specific integrations and engineering projects for robotics and AI research.

Applications

From biomechanics to Physical AI.

The same core motion-tracking expertise supports established human movement applications and emerging data-driven applications.

Biomechanics & Human Movement

Motion analysis, ergonomic assessment, gait and movement research, rehabilitation and sports-related applications.

Research & Specialized Applications

Flexible motion capture for research projects, feasibility studies and customer-specific requirements.

Robotics & Physical AI

Human motion data, teleoperation and multimodal data collection for robotics and Physical AI.

02 — Custom Engineering

When standard motion capture isn't enough, we build the missing technology.

We develop targeted software and integration solutions for specialized motion capture, sensing and Physical AI applications.

Tracking & Capture

Custom tracking configurations, partial-body and HMD/controller-based tracking, multi-person tracking, ergonomic features and specific tracking points.

Sensor & Data Integration

Cameras, gloves, ToF sensors, SLAM, hand/head tracking, object recognition, synchronization, export formats and data conversion.

Robotics & Data Workflows

Teleoperation interfaces, retargeting, recording workflows, segmentation, dataset preparation and customer-specific interfaces.

Typical projects are scoped and quoted individually. Development and consulting rates are available on request.

03 — Data Services

From experimental design to usable motion data.

We support companies and research organizations in planning, setting up and conducting motion data collection projects.

Planning & Setup

Experimental design, sensor selection, recording concepts and technical setup.

Data Collection

Technical support and execution of motion data recording campaigns using MEVA and related sensing technologies.

Processing & Training

Data processing, conversion, segmentation, annotation, dataset preparation, model training, workshops and user training.

Demos and Selected Work

Demo videos and selected examples of our work.

MEVA Full Body Demo

Capturing of different Pilates exercises for training a motion language model. The goal is to drive a virtual exercise trainer as embodied agent.

Physical AI: From Motion Capture to Robot Control

Transfer of captured fullbody motions (Pilates exercises Spine Twist Kneeling and Spine Twist) to a virtual Unitree G1 via retargeting and imitation learning.

MEVA Lower Body Selfcalibration

e-skin MEVA for self-calibrating lower body motion capture. No pose required for calibration, just walking a few steps. Link to Article.

MEVA HMD - a fully wearable performance capturing system

e-skin MEVA combined with Meta Quest 3 for fully wearable performance capturing, including full-body and finger kinematics with global localisation and egoview (stereo).

HumanTech

e-skin MEVA upper body tracking for exoskeleton control in the European project HumanTech.

MEVA visual-inertial

e-skin MEVA extended with a head-mounted fisheye camera for full-body tracking with global localisation and egocamera capturing.

Smart Workwear for Physical Workload Monitoring

Joint research project with Hitachi, DFKI and Xenoma. Link to News.

Detailed Magnetometer-free Motion Capture with Smart Apparel

Technology

Deep expertise in human motion.

As a spin-off from the DFKI Augmented Vision and RPTU, our work is grounded in long-term research and development in inertial motion tracking, sensor fusion and human movement analysis.

Inertial Motion Tracking

Wearable sensing and robust estimation of human movement.

Sensor Fusion

Combining multiple sensor sources for reliable motion estimation.

Human Motion Analysis

Posture, joint movement and movement-related analysis.
