Manus: Motion capture that acts like a tool, not a toy
What it is
Manus is an enterprise motion‑capture and VR interaction stack built around pro gloves and optional full‑body tracking, tied together by Manus Core software. It turns real hand and body motion into clean, rig‑ready data in real time.
How it works
It combines high‑fidelity finger tracking, low‑latency wireless, and integrations with SteamVR and optical mocap systems. Plugins for Unreal, Unity, and major DCC apps drop the skeleton straight into your scene, with calibration tools to keep it stable across users. Recording, live streaming, and export sit in one pipeline.
Why it matters
For prototyping, training, VFX, or robotics teleop, you get natural interaction without building a sensor zoo. Teams can iterate faster because the capture is immediate, repeatable, and editable. It’s purpose‑built hardware and software, not a demo‑ware bundle.
Know before you buy
It’s priced like pro gear and expects a pro workflow. Setup still takes intent and space, and full‑body capture benefits from external tracking you may already own. If you want casual VR gloves, this isn’t it—and that’s the point.
What features and use cases does Manus offer?
