Abstract:
When using inertial motion capturing technology, the accuracy of the results is strongly influenced by the socalled
drift. This paper describes the drift of an Xsens Moven motion capturing suit during common
movements, measured in a standard working environment. The test is performed in a room not shielded
from magnetic disturbances, to acquire insight on how accurate the absolute position determination of the
motion capturing system is during use in a standard environment. The test is performed by walking a path
with the same start and end point, and reviewing the measured difference in the absolute position of one
sensor.
