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.
