HERMES - Xsens MVN Analyze

Support package to interface the Xsens IMU MoCap commercial system of Xsens/Movella in HERMES via the Network Streamer plugin.

[!NOTE] Xsens MVN Analyze is a full-body system of wearable IMUs, and a receiver base station connected to a Windows PC, with a practical range of ~20 meters. Lost packets degrade fitting of the biomechanical model to the person. Ensure the person stays in range or the base station is moved around for this device.

[!WARNING] Xsens MVN Analyze <2024.* had some bugs in the Network Streamer plugin, causing ~30-50% packet dropout. We suggest to use >=2024.*.

Installation

Node available under the same HERMES namespace of hermes.mvn as MvnAnalyzeProducer. Follow these instructions to turn on Network Streamer plugin within MVN Analyze.

From PyPI

From source

Usage

Using the device follows the standard configuration file specification process of HERMES nodes.
