NexGen has announced new Xsens products that include Xbus Master Portable Multi-Sensor System that operates in tethered and wireless modes. The system incorporates the MTx which is a small and accurate 3DOF Orientation Tracker. It provides drift-free 3D orientation as well as kinematic data: 3D acceleration, 3D rate of turn (rate gyro) and 3D earth-magnetic field. The MTx is an excellent measurement unit for orientation measurement of human body segments and other applications requiring very low profile and light-weight sensor units.

NexGen announced the new FSA shear sensor. Shear sensors have a central shear element that measures the tangential (parallel) shear forces in 360 degrees. The central shear element lays on top of a 4 by 4 array of normal force sensors and also shows the normal force gradient (pinch shear).

Coming June 2006 - Wireless ELF eliminates cumbersome wires and enabling your laptop or PC to quickly capture and store force data from an event up to 100 feet away. This system will offer greater flexibility for applications where untethered force measurements are important.
System Components:
Both the Hub and Transmitter are battery operated. The Hub can support data from up to 8 sensors and transmitters at a time. For a 16-channel system, two Hubs would be required.
