BOSTON, Aug. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- SIGGRAPH 2006 -- InterSense, Inc., a
market leader in precision motion tracking technology, today announced
delivery of a customized version of the InertiaCube(TM) sensor for use in
the GypsyGyro line of motion capture suits from Animazoo. Animazoo, a
leading manufacturer of motion capture systems used in film, TV and
computer games development, had originally incorporated the InterSense
InertiaCube3 orientation sensor into their popular GypsyGyro-18 motion
capture suit. The new OEM version of the InertiaCube provides Animazoo with
several key improvements for the GypsyGyro suit, as the sensor is 20
percent lighter and the startup & calibration of the GypsyGyro is five
times faster than that of the original suit. In addition, the lighter,
faster sensors were designed for high volume manufacturing, which positions
the GypsyGyro suit for use in broader markets.
"InterSense has once again outdone the competition by providing a
customized sensor product that meets our exacting specifications for the
premium GypsyGyro product line," states Ali Kord, Founder & CTO of
Animazoo. "They deliver a complete package of superior technology,
affordable pricing and a knowledgeable support staff, making them a highly
valued partner that is integral to Animazoo's continued innovation."
"We're thrilled to expand our long-standing partnership with a market
leader like Animazoo," said Michael Donfrancesco, Vice President of Sales,
InterSense. "Requests for OEM solutions are on the rise; this is the second
customized sensor that we have designed for high volume partners this year.
We will continue to support our partners by deploying a unique technology
that can be adapted to meet a wide variety of technical requirements and
price points."
