MANUS Core 3 Software License

MANUS Core is the central software hub for MANUS gloves—built for precise, low-latency hand tracking in real time. Visualize every finger movement in 3D, record sessions, export data, and stream live into your robotics, VR/XR, research, or performance pipeline. See MANUS Software Comparison What is MANUS Core? MANUS Core is powerful middleware that brings your MANUS gloves to life. It provides accurate hand visualization, converts motion into production-ready data, and connects your gloves to the tools teams actually use—via plug-ins, SDK access options, and partner integrations. Key Features Advanced Hand Solver Calibrate in seconds and see your exact hand movements recreated in 3D. With Core 3.1, you can fine-tune finger dimensions for custom proportions, ensuring a true-to-life digital hand. Ultra-Low Latency Near-instant response for live performance, real-time robotics, and any application where precision timing matters. 3 Data Types for Motion Intelligence Sensor data: Precise fingertip positions and rotations captured relative to the glove’s top module. Skeleton data: A calibrated, joint-by-joint digital model of your hands for analysis, ergonomics, and realistic simulation. Retargeted data: Maps real-hand movements onto virtual characters or objects for effortless animation and interaction. Ergonomic metrics such as joint flexion and hyper-extension can be derived from the Advanced Hand Solver, making Core valuable for research and human-factor studies. Triggered Recording Start, stop, and control MANUS Core recordings directly from external software or tracking systems for synchronized glove data acquisition. Multi-System Positional Tracking Wide tracking-system support places hands in absolute 3D space for accurate hand placement and full-body solves. Integrations MANUS Core supports live streaming and production workflows through plug-ins and partner integrations (availability depends on the license option selected). Common workflows include: Unity / Unreal Engine / MotionBuilder live streaming Optical motion capture pipelines (e.g., OptiTrack Motive, Qualisys QTM) Xsens MVN Animate / Analyze workflows XR simulation + digital twin platforms (OpenXR and supported enterprise XR tools) Developer / robotics pipelines via C++ SDK (option-dependent) Compatible Products MANUS Metagloves Pro MANUS Metagloves Pro Haptic MANUS Quantum Metagloves Which License Option Is Right for You? MANUS Core 3 Best for teams that need the Core foundation: calibration + visualization, recording/export, and standard live plug-ins for common 3D pipelines. MANUS Core 3 + XR Choose this if your workflow requires XR simulation and digital twin integrations (OpenXR + supported partner platforms). MANUS Core 3 + Xsens Choose this when your pipeline runs through Xsens MVN Animate/Analyze and you want direct integration and a unified skeleton workflow. MANUS Core 3 + Optical Best for optical motion capture environments and labs that need direct integration into supported mocap pipelines. MANUS Core 3 + SDK (Commercial) Choose this for developers and robotics teams that need SDK access for custom integrations and data pipelines. MANUS Core 3 + SDK (Academic) SDK option intended for qualifying academic programs and labs.
