MANUS Core 2.1 | Settings

‍

General

UI Scale

‍The Dashboard uses your Windows scaling settings to determine how large UI elements should be. If you want to adjust the size of interface elements independent of your Windows scaling, simply use the dropdown menu to select a different UI scale. Whether you are looking at the Dashboard on a large TV from far away in your mocap space or you’re sitting behind your desk, you can easily see and use the Dashboard.

Render to VR headset‍

If you want to visualize your gloves or Polygon in VR, make sure that this checkbox is on.

Scale Skeleton

‍Use the size adjustments made in the profile settings and apply them to the model from the scene view.

Render when unfocused

‍Switching this off will help lower CPU and GPU usage when using another application, minimising MANUS Core.

MANUS Core Connection

‍This opens a dialog where you can switch to another local or networked device running MANUS Core.

Hardware

Force firmware update

‍In case your device got disconnected during firmware update and did not update correctly, you can go through the installation process again if you check this box on.

Automatic Channel Optimization

‍Each dongle automatically selects the best available wireless channel when you start MANUS Core. If you want your glove and dongle pairs to always use a specific wireless channel, for example when you're using many wireless devices at the same time, you can disable this automatic channel selection.  

Glove

Prime Series Thumb and Finger IMU Data

‍The MANUS Prime II & X Series gloves use 2 kinds of sensors: orientation sensors and bend sensors. When you experience sensor drift, you can decide to disable the orientation sensors. With these settings, you can select to only use the bending sensor data.

Quantum Pinch Correction

‍This prioritizes finger endpoint position over accurate joint angles.

Hand Rotation

‍The hand orientation slider allows you to rotate the visualization of the digital hand in the Gloves Hand Viewer. With this setting you can make the finger articulation more visible when looking at your digital hand.‍

Tracking

Keep tracker position

‍This option lets you retain the last known tracker position in the viewport after it loses connection.

Tracker timeout

‍If this option is on, the trackers that lose connection will disappear from the viewport.

Tracker timeout time

‍You can set the amount of time that will have to pass before a disconnected tracker disappears from the viewport (in seconds)

Tracking System

ART

‍The ART tracking system can't be detected by the system, so this manual toggle allows you to select it when using.

Updates per second

‍This sets the amount of captured samples per second for the tracking system.

Port

‍This sets the port through which communication with the tracking system is handled.

MANUS Core has triggered recording functionality for OptiTrack Motive, Vicon Shogun, PeelCapture and Qualisys.
