InterSense, a subsidiary of Thales Defense and Security Inc. and the Thales Group, is a supplier of 3 and 6 degree of freedom hybrid motion capture products based on MEMS inertial sensor technology and other sensors such as optical and ultrasonic. It offers motion tracking solutions for the simulation and training, visualization, entertainment, medical, sports, robotics, and aerospace industries.
History
Based in Billerica, Massachusetts, InterSense was founded in 1996 by Eric Foxlin. Eric’s pioneering work in the area of MEMS based motion capture at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) resulted in winning the prestigious 50k award. This award provided seed funding to create InterSense. InterSense went on to develop motion tracking products, first based on inertial hybridized with ultrasonic ranging (IS-600 and IS-900) and then inertial hybridized with optical (IS-1200[1])
InterSense was the first company to offer
Based in Bedford, Massachusetts, InterSense is a venture backed firm founded by Eric Foxlin. Eric's pioneering work at MIT resulted in his winning of the prestigious 50k award providing seed funding for the creation of InterSense.
Based in Burlington, Massachusetts, InterSense was founded in 1996 by Eric Foxlin as a commercial extension of his pioneering Ph.D. research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Privately held, InterSense has received numerous awards for its technology, including a Frost & Sullivan 2000 Market Engineering Technology Innovation Award and a Computer Graphics World 1999 Innovation Award.
Xsens Technologies B.V. (or Xsens) is a supplier of 3D motion capture products based upon miniature MEMS inertial sensor technology. The company has created intellectual property in the field of multi-sensor data fusion algorithms, combining inertial sensors with aiding technologies such as GPS, Motion capture and biomechanical modeling. Xsens is an Mcube company, delivering solutions for the mobile, industrial, cloud, automotive, lighting, and computing industries.
Xsens has offices in Enschede (headquarter), the Netherlands, Los Angeles, California and Hong Kong
The company was founded in 2000 by Casper Peeters and Per Slycke, both University of Twente graduates. Following work in measurement of the performance of athletes, they specialized in sensor technologies and sensor fusion algorithms. The company developed Inertial measurement units or AHRS (MTi-series and MTx) and human movement measurement systems (a complete wireless system MTw Awinda, the successor of the Xbus Kit). In 2007 Xsens introduced an inertial motion capture system called "Moven" (renamed to Xsens MVN[2] in 2009). In 2009 Xsens introduced the MVN BIOMECH system, a motion capture system for 3D human kinematics used in fields such as ergonomics, spots science and rehabilitation. In 2017 both Xsens MVN and MVN BIOMECH were renamed to Xsens MVN Analyze and Xsens MVN Animate.
In 2008, Xsens acquired Utellus, a spin-off from telecom company Ericsson's EuroLab, specializing in applications of ultra wide band RF technology[3].
