License requirement

The functionality described requires a MANUS Bodypack or a MANUS license dongle with one of the following licenses: Core OptiTrack Core OptiTrack Pro DEMO, or a Feature license with the OptiTrack feature enabled.

Installation (Motive 3.1)

The Motive 3.1 plugin offers the ability to use the Quantum Metagloves hand scaling instead of marker placement to determine hand size.

This means the placement of the markers no longer affects the dimensions of the hand and the accuracy of the finger capture is improved.

For Prime series gloves, we recommend to use the marker based hand scaling.

Downloading

The Motive 3.1 Plugin for MANUS Core 2.2 can be downloaded from the MANUS Resource Center.

Installation

MANUS SDK Plugin

To install the plugin, copy the ManusSDK DLL in the Motive installation directory, which is typically located in C:\Program Files\OptiTrack\Motive\.

  • Copy the ManusSDK.dll into the Motive 3.1 installation folder.

Glove Based Hand Scaling Plugin

New with the Motive 3.1 plugin, is the ability to use the Quantum Metagloves hand skeleton dimensional data.

Previous Motive 3 plugins relied on on the optical markers to determine the hand size.

With the new Motive 3.1 plugin, accurate glove data can be used, meaning marker placement does not affect the hand dimensions or the accuracy of the finger capture.

Plugins are installed in Motive's devices folder, which is typically located in C:\Program Files\OptiTrack\Motive\devices\.

  • Copy the Manus_2.2_For_Motive_3.1_ScaledFinger_beta_v1.dll into the devices folder.

Warning

Using large amounts of gloves requires a faster computer with the new glove based hand scaling plugin. Make sure to use a fast computer, or use the marker based plugin if you notice significant performance issues.

Marker Based Hand Scaling Plugin

As with previous versions of the Motive 3 plugin, you can continue to use the marker based system which determines hand size.

This means the placement of the markers affects the dimensions of the hand and the accuracy of the finger capture.

We recommend to use this version of the plugin when using Prime series gloves.

Plugins are installed in Motive's devices folder, which is typically located in C:\Program Files\OptiTrack\Motive\devices\.

  • Copy the Manus_2.2_For_Motive_3.1_v1.dll into the devices folder.

Warning

Do not use both Motive 3.1 plugins at the same time, only one version of the plugin can be installed in the devices folder.
