2.2 Motion Tracker (MTx)

Figure 3: Motion Tracker (MTx-STR)

The MVN Link system contains two types of motion trackers; the single MTx (Figure 2) used as end

trackers and the string of three MTx-STR (Figure 3). The motion trackers, MTx, and MTx-STR are the

miniature inertial measurement units containing 3D linear accelerometers, 3D rate gyroscopes, 3D

magnetometers, and a barometer, which measures atmospheric pressure. These trackers are placed at

strategic locations on the body (fixed by the suit), to measure the motions of each body segment.

The MTx trackers are positioned on the pelvis, sternum, hands, and head. The MTx-STR’s are used to

chain the legs (upper leg, lower leg, and feet), as well as for the upper body (shoulders, upper arms,

and for-arms). For more information about Motion Trackers, see Section 5.2.
