Ergonomics and Biomechanics Products
New I2M Motion Tracking Product Line
 Our I2M (IMUs to Motion) family of products provides an unmatched choice of sensors, features and expandability. All our sensors while smaller than a typical wristwatch contain 8GB of memory. All sensors allow the customer to change the settings to either 2g or 6g depending on their needs without having to purchase multiple sensors. Our SXT series allow up to 24 sensors to be used either individually or together with all sensors being synchronized.

HM-Analyzer
HM-Analyzer captures motion orientation data real-time for up to 18 SXT sensors. The user can map SXTs to selected joint segments such as trunk, pelvis, arms, etc.
HM-Analyzer maps segments or joints of a 3D model skeleton to SXTs and dynamically displays axes of orientation of mapped segments or joints and dynamically displays Euler or Quaternion orientation data as a scrolling 2D graph as well as the skeleton animation.

MVTA Multimedia Video Task Analysis®
MVTA Version 3
We are pleased to announce the release of MVTA Version 3. The following summarizes the key features and changes from version 2.9:
- Windows 7 & Vista support
- New video display library
- WMV (Windows Media Video) support added
- Improved frame navigation support of MPEG-2 files
- Added video navigation shortcuts (speeds searching through video)
- New breakpoint editing Features
- Added Forward ReAlign (Ctrl-F) and Backward Realign (Ctrl-B) – Move the previous or next breakpoint to the current cursor location
- When annotation panel is visible, pressing the "Insert" key enter text input mode for annotation and press Enter will end annotation text input mode and return to analysis mode.
- More User preferences/customizations setting saved
- Mainwindow Size and Location
- Task Analysis window Size and Location
- Annotation Panel state in Task Analysis window
- Data Analysis window state
- MDF and MDT files can now be saved to previous MVTA version formats
- Addition of new report, magnitude report, numerical value and its units can be associated with events.
- Productivity Features
- Support added for the Focus Enhancement CommandPost Video Window control interface.
- When opening a video file, if the video file name and MDF filename are the same except the ext. and in the same directory, the MDF file will now also be open.
- Support for third party data files
- A conversion program is available at an extra cost to convert Biometrics .log files so that captured data such as EMG or goniometry data can be displayed in the biomechanical analysis of MVTA. A synchronization method is required by the user in order to establish the starting point of the video and the data stream.
- The user can now import other signal data such as EMG to be displayed with the video using a standard text file format. A synchronization method is required by the user in order to establish the starting point of the video and the data stream.
- Various issues corrected
