Upgrade options
XR
Adds XR simulation and digital-twin workflows, including OpenXR and supported integrations such as Autodesk VRED, ESI IC.IDO, and Siemens environments.
Xsens
Adds direct integration with Xsens MVN Animate and MVN Analyze for full-body motion-capture workflows and a unified skeleton.
Optical
Adds supported optical motion-capture integrations such as OptiTrack Motive, Qualisys QTM, Nokov XingYing, and FZMotion Motar.
SDK
Adds MANUS Core Remote for Windows, Core Integrated for Windows and Linux, the C++ SDK, ROS 2 resources, and access to Metagloves Pro sensor data. Choose standard SDK or qualifying Academic pricing.
What stays included
Your Core 3 foundation continues to provide calibration, real-time visualization, recording, playback, FBX/CSV export, and supported standard plug-ins. Existing Core 3 entitlements retain their purchased capabilities. Core 3.2 is the final release, and MANUS support and updates end December 31, 2026.
Multiple license keys
MANUS supports feature stacking when multiple keys have the same actor count. A legacy single-actor key can limit stacked features to one actor, so verify mixed legacy configurations before purchasing.

\nMANUS Core 3 is the central software hub for MANUS gloves, delivering precise, low-latency hand tracking for motion capture, robotics, XR, research, and live production.
Calibrate and visualize hands in 3D, record sessions, export production-ready data, and stream finger tracking into supported applications. Choose the license option that matches your workflow.
What every MANUS Core 3 license includes
- Core 3.2, the final MANUS Core 3 release
- Support for up to 8 actors (one actor is one person using one pair of gloves)
- Fast calibration and real-time 3D hand visualization
- Advanced Hand Solver with adjustable finger dimensions
- Recording, playback, and export to FBX and CSV
- Standard live streaming workflows for Unity, Unreal Engine, and MotionBuilder
- Triggered recording, timecode-capable advanced export, and supported positional-tracking workflows
Three motion-data outputs
- Sensor data: precise fingertip position and rotation relative to the glove top module; available with the SDK license for Metagloves Pro and Metagloves Pro Haptic.
- Skeleton data: a calibrated joint-by-joint hand model for animation, analysis, ergonomics, and simulation.
- Retargeted data: hand motion mapped to a virtual character or object for animation and interaction.
The Advanced Hand Solver can also provide ergonomic measures such as joint flexion and hyper-extension for research and human-factors work.
