Performance that moves with you
Behind every great animation is a performance worth capturing. The new Xsens Link, paired with its redesigned form-fitting eSuit, translates real movement into digital characters with greater accuracy, stability, and fidelity, bringing stories to life with unmatched realism.
From subtle gestures to dynamic action, the Link is designed to keep you in motion. Re-engineered to deliver the most accurate and consistent real-time motion data yet, its new design provides the comfort, reliability, and effortless workflow professionals need to stay focused on performance.
That’s how Xsens turns motion into authentic storytelling.
You bring the story. We bring the motion.
Indie animators rarely have a performance actor within reach.
So we recorded one.

Build your own character, world and story around it in whatever software you already use, then submit your animated scene before 10 December for a shot at an Xsens Link system, Animate Pro licenses, render credits and more.
