MANUS Core 3 Software License

MANUS 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.

• Access to the latest MANUS Core 3.x updates and improvements
• 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 in Core 3.1
• 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

• 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.
