The Impulse X2E Motion Capture System

The fastest and most flexible optical motion capture system on the planet.

Where PhaseSpace Excels

Active LED technology gives you advantages that passive systems simply cannot match.

Easy Setup and Operation

Daisy chained cameras -- only one plug for signal and power. Uses standard RJ-45 connectors. Calibrate system in minutes.

Multiple Physical Objects

Each marker has a unique ID — track dozens of objects simultaneously without marker swapping.

Real-Time Needs

960 FPS capture with millisecond latency. Stream data directly to your control loop.

Outdoor Capture

Active LEDs work in direct sunlight where passive reflective markers fail completely.

What Our Clients Say

"PhaseSpace allowed us to capture motion data outdoors with a level of precision we simply couldn't achieve with any other system."

Oliver Hotz

Origami Digital

"The unique marker IDs and real-time streaming capabilities are essential for our neuroscience research with synchronized EEG and motion capture."

Dr. Doug Weber

University of Pittsburgh

"The Impulse X2E has better spatiotemporal resolution and it costs less than my previous motion capture system. I've had nothing but great support from the friendly team at PhaseSpace. The hardware and software are user friendly; even my undergraduate research assistants are confident using it after a few demonstrations."

Dr. Jarrod Blinch

Texas Tech University
