System Requirements
The system requirements for using MANUS Core are highly dependent on the specific use cases. Below are five examples of MANUS Core use cases and what general level of specification we recommend go with that.
Recommendations
| MANUS Core | MANUS Core + Dashboard | MANUS Core + Unreal 4/5 | MANUS Core + Unity | MANUS Core + VR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Celeron N5105 or higher | Intel I5-3340 or AMD 1200 or higher | Intel I5-7500 or AMD 1500 or higher | Intel I5-7500 or AMD 1500 or higher | Intel I5-7500 or AMD 1500 or higher |
| RAM | 8GB RAM | 8GB RAM | 16GB RAM | 8GB RAM | 16GB RAM |
| GPU | Intel UHD graphics | DirectX11 compatible video card (Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050ti or higher) | DirectX12 compatible video card (Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 or higher) | DirectX11 compatible video card (Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050ti or higher) | DirectX12 compatible video card (Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 or higher) |
| OS | Windows 10/11 64-bit | Windows 10/11 64-bit | Windows 10/11 64-bit | Windows 10/11 64-bit | Windows 10/11 64-bit |
| Storage | 2GB available space | 2GB available space | 100GB avaialble space | 15GB available space | 100GB available space |
MANUS Core
This has the lowest system requirement. It would be a system that takes in data from one pair (or maybe multiple) glove devices and send it out to either an SDK console application or function as a Networked Device.
Note
When using many (6+) pairs of gloves, CPU requirements may be higher than stated and it's wise to increase the CPU processing power.
MANUS Core + Dashboard
The limiting factor here is the MANUS Core Dashboard UI. Increased resolution and the window size have a significant impact on processing load. In this case Dashboard would be used for device management, recording and exporting.
Exporting
Exporting recorded files to CSV and FBX benefit greatly from additional CPU processing power (ideally single core performance). This can speed up (batch) exporting significantly.
Manus Core + Unreal 4/5
This use case focuses on using MANUS Core (Dashboard) in conjunction with our Unreal Engine plugin. Unreal Engine can be graphically demanding. Therefore we recommend having more CPU and GPU processing power. The requirements in this case are more about running Unreal since this will be your bottleneck rather than MANUS Core
MANUS Core + Unity
Very similar to the Dashboard requirements. But just like with Unreal Engine, the experience may vary signifcantly per specific use-case.
MANUS Core + VR
VR, be it in Unreal or Unity can be vary taxing your machine. Here we recommend going with a similar specification as Unreal, but it can vary widly per the specific use-case.
Operating system
MANUS Core currently only functions on Windows 10 and Windows 11 64-bit. The MANUS SDK functions on Linux as well but would still require a machine running MANUS Core (on Windows) to pass the device data along.
